Is North Korea's Leader losing it?

Going off on a tangent but I've been thinking about this lately and I agree. I'm against the death penalty as well but if we're going to have it I'd prefer firing squad over lethal injection, there's just something about medicalizing the act of execution that is more disturbing to me than execution itself.

Michael Portillo did an investigation of methods of capital punishment, and concluded that all current methods were inhumane in one way or another, either to the condemned or to the executioner. One way, not currently used, seemed to fit all the criteria though: oxygen deprivation through replacement with inert gases. It was amusing to watch him squirming at the results of each test, or in some cases putting himself through the paces (through a lower non-lethal dosage, of course). In the last case, oxygen deprivation, he became more and more incoherent until he zoned out and the observer ended the experiment.

Said documentary directly prompted Oklahoma to change its method of implementing the death penalty. AFAIK no executions have yet been done using the new method.
