I think McVeigh was executed pre maturely

Some killers sit on death row for many years. Not McVeigh. I think that the government was afraid he might change his mind and talk about what really happened.

McVeigh essentially committed a form of suicide, because he insisted that there be no appeal of his death penalty conviction. The reason so many killers sit on death row for years is because of the various automatic appeals on up the food chain of courts. McVeigh exhibited all the earmarks of a zealot, much like the Islamist radicals.
