    It's another example of the derangement known as political correctness.

    McVeigh got a fair trial. A speedy trial is considered a good thing.

    The 9/11 terrorist shouldn't get a trial. We didn't charge every German soldier that shot an American soldier with murder did we? These are both acts of war and should be dealt with as such.

  • Well, McVeigh believed in what he did and was not afraid to pay with his life. He was a hero and a bigger man (albeit a bit nuts) than all the muslim scum fighting for terrorism.

    Tim McVeigh was tried in a CIVILIAN COURT and I'm pretty sure he admitted to it. He was executed so quick because he let them execute him. He could still be appealing it with the amount of appeals and how long they take, if he wanted to.
