This is a theory that is gaining credibility

1) Al Qaeda or Saddam or some combination there of assisted in the OKC bombing.

2) Clinton and Janet Reno got the proof but was squashed. The implication was to great to be made public. If it was made public Clinton would have had no choice but for a true war against terrorism as we are doing today.

3) Ramzi Yousef took refuge in Iraq.

4) Would Terry Nichols or Timothy McVeigh acknowledge the truth? Probably not. In their own sick way they believed they were fighters for their country. They most likely believe that its better to die a martyr for their ilk than to die as a patsy traitor.

4) The bush administration had the truth, but could they make it public? No. If they (the Bush Admin) made it public that the Clinton administration had covered up foreign involvement in an attack on our country, the ramifications could be devastating on the way the executive branch can and could function in the future.

The Bush administration (read Ashcroft) did seem to be in a particular hurry to execute McVeigh. Doesn't absolutely prove what you say, but it does lend some support to it.

Don't forget about Laurie Myroie's book linking Saddam and Iraqi intelligence to the first attack on the WTC in '93 (an event whose significance was so vastly underappreciated).
The question remains, why didn't the Bush administration cite these two incidents in its arguments leading up to the invasion of Iraq? Undermining confidence in the executive branch is no good reason, especially if that confidence is keeping us blind to real threats (which it most obviously did, if anything was learned from the WTC bombing in '93).
Patriot CJC, will you be so concerned about damaging the executive's ability to function when we end up with another president like Clinton, perhaps one willing to hand over U.S. sovereignty to the likes of the UN?

The Bush administration had the truth, but could they make it public? No. If they (the Bush Admin) made it public that the Clinton administration had covered up foreign involvement in an attack on our country, the ramifications could be devastating on the way the executive branch can and could function in the future.

I think your assessment here is wrong. The Bush administration has an even bigger incentive to cover up any foreign connection to these terrorist attacks in the 1990s than the Clinton administration does.
