Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I am glad to see finally, after all these years, that they are being prosecuted in the same way Timothy McVeigh, who committed mass murder in this country, was prosecuted."

"When people commit murder, commit murder here in the United States, commit murder on this scale, they should be prosecuted."

"I expect to direct prosecutors to seek the ultimate and most uncommon penalty for these heinous crimes."

"I can assure you as Chairman of this Committee that I want a successful prosecution. I also want to know what happened."
