60 minutes is going to be mcveigh-tv on sunday as the whole show is devoted to him, an interview they did two years ago, with outtakes, as wednesday gets closer. its a shame they couldn't do another interview with him as he seems to have gotten more lucid during his prison stay and some of his thinking is fascinating.

ashcroft himself prevented a second 60 minutes interview. they don't want him to be a martyr for his cause but by killing him they're providing all the means.

what is the message here. it's the most excusable execution in a long time. but the us taught this guy to kill, and the lesson we're teaching is that by killing him we are solving problems. i'm not sure how i feel about it all but my gut feeling is that we are going to create more mcveighs by killing this one.

We already have more McVeighs. The execution will only galvanize them all. Expect to see an act on their behalf in memorium of their fallen comrade within a year of the execution.

Well, now it turns out the Justice (that word BEGS for scare quotes) Department withheld some evidence. Can't they do ANYTHING right?

Some people in U.S. have an image of the Justice Dept., FBI, CIA, armed forces as some sort of super humans.. always right. They are just as "dumb" as the majority of U.S. population.. although special note must be taken of CIA which has really shown itself to consist of clueless morons.
