One of the last sights afforded Tim McVeigh on this earth will be Gore Vidal.
Worse things can befall a man. McVeigh has invited Vidal to be on his observer
team at the upcoming execution in Terre Haute, scheduled for May 16, and Vidal
has accepted. He told the Daily Oklahoman he began corresponding with McVeigh
when McVeigh wrote him about Vidal’s 1998 article in Vanity Fair on "the
shredding’’ of the Bill of Rights. "We’ve exchanged several letters," says
Vidal. "He’s very intelligent. He’s not insane." Of the bombing he told the
Oklahoman: "Do I approve of it? Of course I don’t," adding that he and McVeigh
have similar views about the erosion of constitutional rights and about the
federal government’s 1993 raid on the Branch Davidian compound near Waco that
left 80 people dead.
