First I commend you on your recognition of my right to my own opinion. My 
opinions do not rely on baseless assumptions, nor do they resort to name-
calling and stereotyping. You may have different standards for your 
opinions and that is certainly your right. 

Nowhere in my assertion have I excused the actions of McVeigh and Nichols 
for any reason, nor am I willing to excuse the actions of McVeigh and 
Nichols for any reason. In fact, I have called for constitutional trials 
of the crimes for which they were charged. I have also called for trials 
of crimes for which they have yet to be charged, not the least of which 
are the deaths of many civilians. When McVeigh and  Nichols were allowed 
a change of venue to Colorado, we were allowing them to escape proper 
justice in Oklahoma and subvert the United States and its Constitution 
one more time.

Are the deaths of the civilians not worthy of punishment?
Is the Constitution not worthy of defense?
