Tim McVeigh, June 11, 2001, dead
Timothy McVeigh was killed (executed) today...humm... :'(

His "last words"

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me

Black as the Pit from pole to pole

I thank whatever gods maybe

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horror of the shade

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate

How charged with punishment the scroll

I am the Master of my fate

I am the Captain of my soul.

-- William Earnest Henley

Tim, may your soul be where you want it to be....for you ARE the Captain of your soul.
