February 11, 2001:
The Sunday Oklahoman published a letter (on Sunday!) by
McVeigh questioning the fairness of limiting the number of witnesses to his
execution. The
Federal Bureau of Prisons is considering a
closed-circuit broadcast to accommodate
survivors and
relatives of
victims.
"Because the closed-circuit telecast of my execution raises these fundamental equal access concerns, and because I am otherwise not opposed to such a telecast, a reasonable solution seems obvious: hold a true public execution -- allow a public broadcast," he wrote.
"It has ... been said that all of
Oklahoma was a victim of
the bombing. Can all of Oklahoma watch?" he wrote.
A national broadcast is not an option,
Prison bureau spokesman
Dan Dunne (what a name, can I buy one of those???) said.
"It hasn't been considered.
It won't happen," Dunne said.
McVeigh, will be executed
May 16 by
lethal injection at the federal penitentiary in
Terre Haute, Indianna.
