Executing McVeigh will not bring back the people he killed, but it will bring back the machinery of death. The federal government hasn't killed anyone in 40 years, and now they're trying to use McVeigh to bring the death penalty back. But don't make any mistake
about it after McVeigh, the next person they kill won't look like him, he will look like me. He might be innocent like me, too.
