...Judge Richard Matsch gets set to decide whether to accpet a delay in Timothy McVeigh's executions, signs are that the case could be in for a long summer. The story so far: Last Thursday, after meeting with their client in Terre Haute, Indiana, lawyers for the convicted bomber announced they would seek a delay of McVeigh?s June 11th execution date. Defense attorney Robert Nigh called the decision to request more time was "difficult" for McVeigh, who was "ready to die." Friday morning, McVeigh?s legal team filed a 300-plus page brief with the case?s original trial...

...ISRAEL Fighter Jets Strike Israel unleashed F-16 fighter planes on West Bank targets for the first time since 1967. They were responding to a deadly attack only hours beforehand.

Neither mess was Ashcroft's fault, of course, but he has to clean both...
...more than 3,000 pages of documents - now make it 4,000 - that hadn't been given to McVeigh's lawyers as promised before the trial. It's now set for June 11, and Ashcroft vows to give McVeigh no further extensions - but the chances are good that the bomber's lawyers will go to court to seek more time to review the documents or ask for a new sentencing, either of which would almost certainly delay things further...
