Glad to have you back Cali. I missed have someone around to constantly warp my position.

My only assertion in this thread is that McVeigh ought to have (and did get) rights that foreign members of al-Qaeda ought not (and would not) get, by virtue of his citizenship.

It doesn't not matter that the end result of their horrible acts are the same. Citizenship means something.
