But the question has to be asked: since the government cheated in the prosecution of McVeigh, that in a case this high profile, a case that was a slam dunk, they STILL had to cheat by hiding evidence from the defense, can he still be put to death without a fair trial??
What does this mean for the rule of law, isn't the sanctity of the legal sytem that our country is founded upon greater than any one trial?
Shouldn't he be given a new trial? Or does the FBI get to choose who is guilty and who isn't? Because they were right this one time?

Just to set the record straight... and believe me I am the last person to defend the FBI. There were over one billion documents in that case. The documents were from Colorado, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Alaska, Kentucky, and D.C. Out of that one billion documents from seven different offices they managed to loose 200. That's not bad in my book. Besides, he has admitted his guilt. Openly. He does not even want another trial.
He is guilty. Fry the bastard.
