Another federal agency is after South Dakota's lethal injection drugs. Last year the Drug Enforcment Agency ordered South Dakota to hand over its supply of drugs. Now the food and drug administration has issued a similar order. But South Dakota's Attorney General has no plans to hand over the drugs. The state and federal agencies are fighting over the state's supply of Sodium Thiopental; a quick acting barbiturate sometimes used as anesthesia and in higher doses lethal injections.
