I would be interested to know what you think of the death penalty in cases like Timothy McVeigh?

The way I see is that McVeigh was a decorated honorable soldier who in a few short years became a mass murderer of 168 women, children, and men. He was not only guilty of murdering those eight federal officers, but he was also guilty of treason and that necessitates the death penalty. Yes, human life is precious which is why guys like McVeigh should be done away with when they kill on such a level.
