Here is Ron Paul's quote from an NPR news article

Ron Paul is mistaken, we did not execute McVeigh, he was murdered in prison.

Whether his citizenship was revoked or he was a traitor, you'll not find many who disapprove of the elimination of someone who was plotting attacks against us.

This. +1

I did a happy dance when I heard the news.

Rot in hell scumwad.

No, I'm pretty sure that he was executed on June 11, 2001.

The very definition of "citizen" includes having allegiance to the country and that he didnt have. No more innocent Americans need to die because of these dirtbags.

Thank god Obama cant put the political correctness aside and use some common sense when it comes to eliminating terrorist.

To argue Congressman Paul's position: I didn't realize Congress had the authority to authorize the removal of an American citizen's right to due process.

IMO, this argument is flawed. The asshat could have had his due process at any time, had he really wanted it. He knew the deal. And he chose to keep hiding and trying to wage his little war. All he would have had to do was hop a plane to NYC and turn himself in at customs. He wanted to be martyred, they all do, and I'm in favor of helping them in that endeavor. Again...Just my opinion.

Then Mr. Paul didn't read before he voted.

It is VERY clear how broad the resolution is.

Looks to me like he just had to travel about 2 hours down the road to the U.S. Embassy...
