On Monday night, the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow will air, for the first time ever, audiotapes of Timothy McVeigh giving his own account of why he detonated a truck filled with explosives in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. It was our country's most destructive and deadly act of terrorism on U.S. soil prior to September 11. The bombing murdered 168 people, including more than two dozen children under the age of 6. More than 800 people were injured; damage was estimated at $652 million. Yet, McVeigh's recorded voice, as if speaking from the grave almost nine years after his execution, says, "I feel no shame for it."
