While he wasn't military the Feds didn't waste a bunch of time before giving McVeigh the needle, I still wonder if "they" were afraid he might spill something embarrassing about the bombing and possible .gov involvement.
Too bad Hassan won't get the same expidited service.

LOLWUT?

The bombing happened on April 19, 1995.

The indictment of McVeigh happened on August 10, 1995.

The sentencing happened in June of '97

And the execution happened on June 11, 2001 (I remember the bombing, the trial, and the execution)

ROFLMAO at "the Feds didn't waste a bunch of time before giving McVeigh the needle". Four years between sentencing and execution is just moving at light speed!

It is for death sentences. Usually that takes more than a decade. McVeigh got the needle so quick because he basically asked for it, IIRC.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

just Warren
