But should McVeigh be put to death while another terrorist that killed, but from the leftist idea, is allowed to live as insane? - Unibomber. Both of these guys are terrorists and both did terrible things. I don't want to seem to be an apologist for the Unibomber, but there is a considerable difference between the two. First, there's the order of magnitude of the death toll. Second, the Unibomber targeted individuals, universities, and airlines. McVeigh targeted The Government. I think those are two big differences. Attributing the difference in treatment to political wing seems more than a stretch to me. Karen

"But should McVeigh be put to death while another terrorist that killed, but from the leftist idea, is allowed to live as insane? - Unibomber Did Hitler kill 5,000 or 5,000,000 - it's the thought that counts. A killer is no better than the crime he acts out - it has nothing to do with the magnitude or the target.

But should McVeigh be put to death while another terrorist that killed, but from the leftist idea, is allowed to live as insane? - Unibomber. I've seen a number of discussions on these threads about liberal bias in the major media. I've also seen discussion that Fox News is "balanced." Since it showed up on my cable a week or so ago, I've been watching it to see how it differs from the channels to which I'm accustomed. I noticed that even on Fox News, there has been no presentation of the slightest hint of the "other side" of the McVeigh bombing. There has been nary a panelist taking the side of the extreme anti-government right wing-nuts. Do you think this shows leftie bias on the part of Fox, as well? Karen
