Rickey Ray Rector....famous for leaving the desert from his last meal as he was being taken to be executed....saying 'I'll have it when I get back...."
"Rector’s appeal for clemency took place during Clinton’s presidential campaign—specifically during the New Hampshire primary.
Clinton presumably wanted to present himself as someone who was firm on crime and capital punishment in order to garner more votes. RectorÂ’s execution, therefore, became quite important to the candidate, though the eleven-year controversy over RectorÂ’s case had already guaranteed that ClintonÂ’s decision would be highly public. In keeping with this strong stance on capital punishment,
Clinton not only denied RectorÂ’s appeal for clemency but flew home to Arkansas in order to oversee the execution personally."

Executing Rickey Ray was essential for Clinton....
bin Laden....not so much.
Did you bother to read your link? There was no dispute that Rector brutally murdered two people. The dispute was the guy, after shooting himself in the head, was possibly not competent to stand trial. That's his own fucking fault.
9/11 happened after Bill Clinton left office. Bush and the Republicans were warned. Their arrogant ignorance kept them from doing anything. That's the right wing, arrogant ignorance.
Why I can't understand is why you want to defend a murderer. Course, you probably see child killer George Zimmerman as a "hero".
1. "Did you bother to read your link?"
Of course, and I'm fully familiar with the case.
Did you bother to engage your cerebrum?
I made no excuse for the death penalty, or that Rector didn't deserve same.
The point you seem determined to miss is that at the very least, bin Laden deserved the same attention from the rapist, Clinton.
"[Clinton] administration having passed on numerous opportunities to kill or capture the al Qaeda leader before 9/11."

2. "Bush and the Republicans were warned."
Provide that warning, dunce.
3. "Why I can't understand is why you want to defend a murderer."
Show where I did that.
4. "Course, you probably see child killer George Zimmerman as a "hero""
What is clear is that you see the rapist as your hero.
I'd like to leave you with one thought, but I'm not sure you have anywhere to put it.
