MSNBC has just reported that Bush has stated he is supporting Ashcroft's decision to put up to a one month hold on McVeigh's execution. What do you think about this?

More I's to dot and T's to cross....
Especially considering the circumstances that purportedly drove McVeigh to commit this heinous crime in the first place...
Personally, I'm disappointed in any delay....executions, once determined, should be speedy. McVeigh, in this instance, up to now anyway, has seemed to concur with this philosophy...
But, I just read this in USA Today online....if true, he has had a change of heart to some extent...
I imagine Bush wants to make sure there are no repeats of the Bureau bungling in the past. Although disappointed, I do applaud him for supporting how the system is supposed to work...
