Good morning.

Do you think Election Day in England had anything to do with the small explosion in NYC? Or was that a gas leak??

Do you or does anyone else know of any advances in drugs like sodium pentathol (often called truth serum)?

Lethal injections start with a large injection of sodium pentathol followed by pancuronium bromide, and finally potassium Chloride.

If those charged with doing the lethal injection start the pancuronium bromide into the IV with out flushing the IV the remaining sodium pentathol reacts with the pancuronium Bromide to form a solid. That results in a very painful death over as much as a half our to an hour. Executioners often claim to have made a mistake, but it seems likely to me that they want to make the death as painful as possible under the circumstances. There have been "problems" with the lethal injections of several serial killers. "Problems" injecting the chemicals result in it taking an intensively painful half our to a full hour for the convicted killer to die from the "problem plagued" injection.

But my question is, are their better 'truth serums" than sodium pentathol? If there are, isn't it likely that they are being used on the terrorists we capture? Our laws restrict us from doing anything more than asking "Pretty Please" to gain information from captured terrorists. In the current case of the number 3 guy, the press says the Pakistani agents are doing the questioning. They say the Al Quaeda guy is talking.

I am suspicious of reports that say this or that captured terrorist being questioned by a foreign government did or did not talk. I would think that if there are really effective truth serums.. they all talk and that they talk as rapidly as the injection takes effect.

I can't recall of any press reports on truth serums. I wonder why? Are they a myth? Do effective ones exist? Do those who question for us use them?

Anybody know or have evidence to support an opinion?
