You're very probably right, I'm afraid.

here in the good ole u.s.a....there's still one state that uses the firing squad. idaho.or utah...i forget now.

anyway, they showed the journalists the execution chamber where it's carried out. it's in the basement of a barn. there's two stakes in the ground, a dirt floor, a bunch of hay bales and cows up above. the warden says it's real cheap and efficient. each of 12 guards gets a live round and they shoot the condemned in the heart.

I remember, back in the 70s, Gary Gilmore getting executed by firing squad in Utah.
