...martyr in the truest sense of the word, which comes from the Greek word for witness. It connotes one who testifies for his beliefs with the ultimate passionate guarantee of sincerity and a willingness to die for them. McVeigh stood on his right to silence and did not admit to the bombing or seek to justify it. No one will be converted by his death to an ideology that he did not publicly embrace.
