After watching the hanging of Saddam, I got to thinking... Why doesn't
the United States do hangings instead of electric chairs for
executions. With all stories I hear of faulty electricutions, you'd
think the US would start hanging again like they did in the old west.

Utah is the only state that uses the firing squad.
