Putting aside, of course, the fact that he put on a suicide vest and walked over to a stadium full of 80,000 people.
"tying the bomber to terrorist activities"
Is this an Oxy-Moron? How can you be a bomber and not be involved in terrorist activities?
How many of you are building bombs out there and are not a terrorist?
Ping...
Thanks to HR for the ping to the thread.
"In 1995 before the Murrah building attack, Davis said bin Laden's top deputy, Ayman al Zawahiri, visited Oklahoma City"
This is the first I have heard of Zawahiri being in Oklahoma. Gotta get that book!
The "at this time" qualifier is real handy if they can't get people to forget about it. They can say that they never ruled anything out.
What is it about Oklahoma and FBI cover-ups. They can't get away with it this time!
Yeah right! We've heard this before. Officials denied our down-played terrorist connections of the DC snipers, the muslims sergeant who fragged a tent full of sleeping officers in Kuwait, and they still deny a connection with OKC bombing even though it is well-documented. Don't people ever get tired of hearing lies from government officials?
Yep.....it's like Texas and big hair.
A radio talk show caller suggested looking for evidence in nearby trees and such, if the bomb was intended to be used to kill others there'd be damage from nails and other such objects.
Just how stupid do they think we are, anyway?

On another thread someone posted that there were small holes in a nearby tree, presumably from the bomb.
As I have posted before.
The way Boron has acted/responded and many of the so called LEO's in this case remind me of the first Jaws movie. In that movie the mayor and his cohorts denied and lied about the shark until it became a huge disaster.
FBI Coverup -- It's what they do...
BTT!!!!!
Thanks. Below is the full article/post:
Oklahoma Blackout
Unless you live in Oklahoma and follow the local news, or else read conservative blogs, you probably wouldn't know anything about Joel Hinrichs, the University of Oklahoma student who almost surely tried to carry off a mass suicide-murder at an OU football game. Whether Hinrichs had converted to Islam is apparently in dispute, but he had at least one roommate from Pakistan and ties to the local Muslim community. It's been reported that jihadist literature was found when his apartment was searched, along with bomb-making materials, although none of this is yet certain. I assume that Hinrichs was, at most, a "free-lance Islamic terrorist," like the D.C. snipers of three years ago, not an al Qaeda operative.
Still, it's hard to understand why the major media are so determined to ignore the Oklahoma story. Even CBS's Public Eye is beginning to wonder: "Is Lack Of Big Media Coverage Of Oklahoma Explosion OK?" Well, I don't think so. It's hard to avoid the sense that this is another case where media organizations are protecting the public from troublesome information for the public's own presumed good. It's interesting, too, that this attitude isn't limited to the national media. The Oklahoma Daily, as quoted by CBS, is mostly concerned that, while "people should perceive the unfounded news broadcasts as the liars, ... that doesn't always happen."
Of course, some of the news reports are certainly not "unfounded." For instance, Dustin Ellison, proprietor of Ellison Feed and Seed in Norman, has said publicly that Hinrichs tried to buy a quantity of ammonium nitrate fertilizer from his store, but Ellison turned him down because "something didn't feel right." It seems clear that both major media and the local university paper are trying to act as gatekeepers, preventing the public at large from needlessly becoming concerned--and maybe suspicious of Muslims--because of the Oklahoma incident.
Somehow, this sort of news suppression never gets mentioned when media figures lecture us about the benefits of a free press.
