Why was white terrorist Tim McVeigh execute immediately while islamic terrorist get a pass?

Question

Down there in cuba the islamic terrorist nearly riot because there arent enough copies of the Harry Potter, but McVeigh was killed immediately...what gives?

Answer 1

Because he asked his attorney to stop the appeals and to get him the earliest possible execution date.
McVeigh didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison. He wanted to die a martyr.

Answer 2

You should ask that of your government. They are the ones holding up the judicial system. By insisting that the people be tried by military tribunal, and not by standard courts, the administration has delayed justice. If they had been run through the normal channels, the guilty would be in jail serving their sentences or in the ground.

Instead, they are locked up in Cuba, by now any useful information they may have possessed, is so stale as to be useless. If they had just sent them to a county lockup in Georgia for one day, they'd have sung like birds.
But instead, the administration had to look tough, and instead has managed to look only incompetent.

Of course this assumes that they have evidence at all. If they do, and they haven't tried these people by now, then they are incompetent. If, on the other hand, they have no evidence that would hold up in a court of law, then they will certainly be called to account by the next administration. The prez only has until the end of the term to issue pardons. They day after he's out of office, he's fair game, and it won't take an act of congress to haul him away.

Answer 3

There are a few who think he was a hero as he was striking a blow against the Federal government. The logic for it escapes everyone who would answer this question myself included. However he was convinced he acted to defend the Constitution, for he saw himself as crusader, warrior avenger and hero. But in reality, he was little more than a misguided coward. He never even heard clearly the sound of the initial sirens of emergency vehicles rushing to the scene. Because, blocks away, he was wearing earplugs to protect himself from the roar of a blast so powerful it lifted pedestrians off the ground. The fact that he planted the bomb directly under the children's daycare center. The reason he choose the building was because he believed that the AFT had an office there, which he blamed for the Waco tragedy however it was more likely because it was an easy target.

Answer 4

McVeigh waved the right to appeal and wanted to get it over with if memory serves.

Comparing Cuba to the US makes no sense whatsoever.

Answer 5

This is a question for the original loyal Bushie, George. One would think that Bush could make captured Islamic terrorists just disappear from life, but I forget, Bush needs them around for propaganda to get the American people to shell out more billions in Iraq to be pocketed by the corrupted officials there and in the U.S.

Answer 6

McVeigh was tried and convicted in a court of law. None of the people in Gitmo have been given a fair trial.

Answer 7

I have no idea, and he was a citizen, not some combatant caught on the battlefield. Even those who waive their right to appeal still languish in prison on death row for years instead of getting it over with. Simply put, he was a neo nazi, and that ideology has been completely weeded out of mainstream America, while too many see some sort of point in being a terrorist who is captured on their own land while fighting us, a foreign invader. We have too many in this country that sympathize with that plight and want to give them Constitutional protections.

Answer 8

Tim McVeigh was a legal American citizen.

Answer 9

McVeigh waived his rights to appeals and requested that the execution be carried out.

Answer 10

McVeigh volunteered to be executed immediately. He waved his appeals. It was part of his cause.
