Even now, not a single piece of evidence tying the Iraqi regime or any Iraqi citizens to attacks on the West, funding, financing or support of international terrorism, Islamic extremism, no links to Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda, Islamic Jihad, the Blind Sheikh Omar Adbul Rahman, Ramzi Yousef, Mohammed Salameh, the Bojinka Plot, the 1993 WTC Attack, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Mullah Omar, WMD or the Taliban or any other hostile terrorist incident or group has emerged since.
Which is quite astonishing.
Because it means that someone REALLY needs to go up and talk to Terry Nichols....
Upon the Bush Administration's entry into office in January 2001, Tim McVeigh's execution was pushed forward, somewhat characteristically, with almost indecent haste.
And the use of the word "almost" does those in question too much credit.
His Death Warrant was finally actioned on June 11th 2001, exactly three months to the day prior to the all-obscuring events of 9/11, making him the first person to be legally killed by the United States Government adhering to the strict boundaries imposed under due process since 1963.
Tim McVeigh will now tell no more tales, and he was a lone nut who acted alone.
The other lone nut he partnered up to act alone with was Terry Nichols.
Nichols received a life sentence in Federal Court, and though Aryan Nation fellow traveler and Christian Coalition Attorney General John Ashcroft tried as hard as he could, along with the State of Oklahoma to try him again at the state level and seek the Death penalty again there, double jeopardy saved his life and he's not going anywhere for a while...
