Golly, that sure is spooky!</sarcasm>
I can only guess this is what it takes to make it show up on some people's radars.
Curses, one less post and I would have been the one to point out the silliness of not one but *two* completely irrelevant Terry Schaivo references. Are we supposed to reckon time itself by her death now?

Yes, all time will now be stated as either ADTS or BTS.
The author, Jack Cashill, was trying to tell the reader that the FBI timed their little trip to Herington, Kansas to coincide with the Schiavo death, hoping they could hide behind the news cycle her death would create. Apparently, it didn't work or this article wouldn't have been written. I would say it didn't work either because it took too long ("through the night & into the next day") to pack up all that bomb-making material, or someone gave the MSM a tip on the story. Or maybe both.
Also, notice this paragraph:
Dresch went to Herington the following day and found the house to be vacant and for sale. His well-connected contact had not followed through, however, on retrieving the material and giving Scarpa credit where due. Only later did the contact claim that his people were surveilling the site waiting for someone to retrieve the material. It would take nearly three more weeks, the day of Schiavo's death, for the FBI to go in.
Dresch's "well-connected contact" was probably told to keep his mouth shut -- that the FBI would handle it. Then the FBI waited until the Schiavo matter reached its crescendo before they moved in.
This is big. Just ask Valerie Caproni.
(Owen, I don't know who to ping about OKC stuff anymore, but I would bet there are some oldtimers out there who would really be interested in this. Maybe you have some names?)
I have two words: Sandy Berger.
