I do believe however, that wasn't it Vidal himself who went to the execution after having developed a friendship with him. Vidal did believe he didn't act alone and was framed for the 'rap'. The official 'investigation' at OKC was even worse [if that is possible] than for 9/11. Even those who 'buy' generally the official fiction agree on this. But, as always, these sham investigations are done to sychronize the lies.
Gore Vidal was invited to be one of the witnesses to the execution but was not able to go:

" [size=12]It is now June 11, a hot, hazy morning here in Ravello. We’ve just watched Son of Show Time in Terre Haute, Indiana. CNN duly reported that I had not been ab le to be a witness, as McVeigh had requested: the attorney general had given me too short a time to get from here to there. I felt somewhat better when I was told that, lying on the gurney in the execution chamber, he would not have been able to see any of us through the tinted glass windows all around him. But then members of the press who were present said that he had deliberately made "eye contact" with his witnesses and with them. He did see his witnesses, according to Cate McCauley, who was one. "You could tell he was gone after the first shot," she said. She had worked on his legal case for a year as one of his defense investigators."
Vidal and McVeigh did correspond. Vidal talks about it in his Vanity Fair article [/SIZE][size=12]at the same link.
