"That's why they were so eager to execute McVeigh. They were afraid if he had enough time to think about it, he might start talking in order to get his sentence reduced to life in prison without parole."

That is not the reason. McVeigh wanted to die so therefore he never asked for an appeal of his sentence and refused the automatic appeal. When there are no appeals then the sentence is carried out.

"When there are no appeals then the sentence is carried out".

I also thought McVeigh requested to die asap.
