My mistake, as I thought he did admit to it. Time has a tendency to fog over things. The last half of my post stands...

[GEC]

You beat me first to mentioning TWA800.

And when people start to realize that Bubba ignored terrorism from Iraq for at least 6 years, what do you think his legacy will look like then?

Every time Hillary shows up on a television program, a golden nugget of corruption drops in the lap of the media.

What will it be tomorrow when she shows up on Larry King?

Is anybody testifying tomorrow for the 9/11 Commission?

[archy]

Sooooo, you're the guy....

Probably not; I was one of several. But Long Island was one of our regular stops up until the Summer of '83, as was Hancock Field at the Syracuse-Hancock International Airport until around 1988 or so.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Yep, a middle eastern connection didn't fit into the right wing kook theory. It just couldn't be delved into. SO many conservatives, so little time. POS.

[LucyJo]

It's hopefully to do with timing and "strategery" for ultimate success rather than just "swatting at flies".

[Maigrey]

The 9-11 commission doesn't reconvene until the middle of May.

[mabelkitty]

Good. We get to stretch it out some more.

[Elsie]

the Subway shop actually had a video camera recording that day's events

We ALWAYS see videos from all kinds of places after a crime.

Does the FBI have a database that shows ALL business with these recorders, or do 'patriotic' owners volunteer these tapes without being asked???

Gorelick was in charge of the Oklahoma City bombing for a reason. And there was a reason why she hamstrung domestic intelligence a month before the event.

This was a Clinton national security operation. I doubt, however, that it had anything to do with national security. It had to do with the Clintons.

"TImothy McVeigh, an innocent murdered"

Whaaaaaat? He was far from innocent - but he wasn't the only guilty party.

They could probably determine quite a bit from mystery leg DNA. I'm sure we have plenty of Iraqi DNA on record for which to compare genetic markings.

[archy]

It is true that a limb was found in the wreakage that was never id'ed?

I was hoping someone else would answer you by now because I don't really remember. I was thinking they ID'd the leg as belonging to someone, but not according to this guy:

The leg found was wearing a GI issue combat boot and bloused BDU [camoflage uniform] trousers, which investigators initially claimed came from a military recruiter inside the building, then from a black Air Force enlisted women with business inside the building that day, though the leg was from a white male.

Mystery leg in Oklahoma bombing belonged to woman, M.E. says

Here, let me give you a hand...

No, thank you. But we seem to have an extra left leg!

In the weeks after the Oklahoma City bombing, it was discovered that although only eight identified victims of the blast had traumatically amputated left legs, there were nine left legs recovered from the site. The extra leg was first identified in a press release as belonging to a white male, and was later announced to be that of a black female. The leg was wearing a combat boot, with a piece of fatigues at the ankle. It was eventually found to be the left leg of identified (and buried) victim Lakesha Levy, a member of the military who was in the recruiting offices housed at the Murrah building. She was exhumed, and the leg mistakenly buried with her was replaced with the correct one.

Of course, that still leaves the question of whose left leg Lakesha Levy was originally buried with...

The discrepancy has never been officially explained as of this writing (April 2000).

Here's what CNN had to say about the incident on their web page:

Mystery leg in Oklahoma bombing belonged to woman, M.E. says
August 30, 1995

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma (CNN) -- The left leg found in the bomb wreckage of the Murrah Federal Building probably belonged to a 5-foot 5-inch black woman, not a man, the Oklahoma state medical examiner said Wednesday.

The announcement, based on DNA analysis, follows speculation that the leg found in a military-style black leather boot, might belong to an accomplice in the April 19 bombing. The leg was found in the rubble May 30, but the discovery was not announced until August 7, when the medical examiner said there was a "75 percent probability" it belonged to a man.

Now, FBI analysis of DNA "has shown conclusively that the left leg is not male but female," Chief Medical Examiner Fred Jordan said in a statement released by his office. Hair analysis showed "Negroid characteristics," Jordan said. He said he believes the leg belongs to "an individual with some African ancestry."

The unidentified woman, estimated to be between 16 and 30 years old, was the 169th victim of the bombing. The toll includes 168 killed in the bombing and a nurse who died of injuries suffered in the recovery-rescue effort.

Jordan said the leg did not match any of seven victims who were missing a left leg.

Stephen Jones, attorney for bombing suspects Timothy McVeigh, has suggested that the mystery leg might belong to the "real bomber."

Investigators do not believe the other man facing trial in the case, Terry Nichols, was at the scene of the bombing.

Leg found in Oklahoma rubble belonged to known bombing victim

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma (CNN) -- A leg found in the rubble of the federal building in Oklahoma City has been matched to a previously known victim of last April's bombing, Chief Oklahoma medical examiner Fred Jordan said Friday.

Bombing suspect Timothy McVeigh's attorney, Stephen Jones, has suggested that the leg, discovered in the rubble on May 30, may belong to the actual bomber -- someone other than his client. The leg was found clad in a combat boot and military style trousers.

Jordan said that FBI DNA analysis and footprint tests proved the leg belonged to a victim identified as Lakesha Levy, 21, of New Orleans. Levy's body was found on April 27, and through a series of mistakes, a leg was buried with Levy that wasn't hers.

As a result, said Jordan, the medical examiner still has one leg that has not been identified. He said his office would continue with its investigation and he suspected that the leg mistakenly buried with Levy "will belong to somebody killed in the bombing."

Levy, said Jordan, was a member of the military, explaining the leg's military garb. He said her body had been sent to New Orleans for burial, but the leg placed with her body by officials will be recovered and tested to determine to whom it belonged.

Jordan said he remains uncertain whether there was a 169th victim of the bombing or if the misidentified leg simply belongs to one of the other 168 victims.

The Murrah Federal Building was severely damaged April 19, 1995 when a bomb in a Rider rental truck went off on the street outside.

McVeigh and Terry Nichols were arrested and charged with the bombing. They are being held in the El Reno Federal Prison near here awaiting trial, which will be held in Denver.

"Not only that but the person that rented the Ryder truck said on the witness stand that he saw John Doe #2 with Terry Nichols...

I was listening to Glen Beck and he had Jeana Davis on. She said that the drawing of the John Doe #2 that everyone thought looked like Jose Padilla is actually Hussain Hashem Al-Hussaini.

Do you know know if there is a picture of this Al Hussaini anywhere, because I say the drawing looks like Jose Padilla also? In fact somewhere there is a picture where it morphs from the drawing to Jose Padilla.

" wonder if this has anything to do with a certain New Mexico security company run by Sikhs."

Hardly......the Sikhs hate the Islaminazis

"Make that FORMER Oklahoma Governor Frank Keating. The man made my skin crawl."

I'd trade him for our current Gov. ANY day.

[glock rocks]

It's my guess that the manager was absent of mind enough to say "uh, yah" when the fibs asked if there was a recorder. the rest is, well, history.

I can't imagine they have their act together enough to have a database of anything not required to be registered. (think NICS.)

[Reactionary]

Keating is a liar. He knows there were others involved.
