Was OKC Bomber Timothy McVeigh Working for the FBI?

My own take on this is that there has been a huge coverup, and he had motives and connections that the public has no idea of.

Mostly muslim (surprise). There was a lot of ... stuff ... going on with the OKC case.  It was incredibly useful and convienient on several different fronts, from scrubbing Waco documents, to demonizing the term 'militia', and the right wing in general.

The fateful sound of black helicopters in the morning air.

Was Horiuchi found not guilty of the murders at Ruby Ridge?

He was never convicted of murder, though he should have been. There was a lot of jurisdictional dancing between the state and federal courts, and ultimately the government protects its assasins.

We learned during the Clinton administration that it is perfectly legal for the government to kill anyone they desire, and there isn't a damned thing we can do about it.

I like you. You’re not like the other people here
in the trailer park.

But if McVeigh was an FBI agent, would not he have come out with that rather than face execution in silence?

McVeigh has been described by a former army buddy as a "solder's soldier" who would march straight off a cliff if directed by his superiors.

It could have been a sting gone bad, very bad. Clinton and the FBI tried to cover it up like TWA800.

I think I remember bomb experts in the days following the explosion, on TV talking about there was a bomb here, and another here, etc. Did I dream this, or does anyone else remember it?

[DJtex]

A few points:

Several experts said that the blast force of that particular-sized explosive would have dissipated before taking out most of the critical steel-reinforced support beams.

During the rescue ops there were several successive bomb scares, including some pics of personnel removing fairly large canisters from the parking garage area. (Later the FBI said that these were probably “sample bombs” kept in the FBI office to know what they looked like).

Clinton’s ratings were in the toilet, a real malaise, until this galvanizing event. If it turned out to be an FBI sting operation, to suck in German/Iraqi terrorists to plant explosives, then Clinton’s boost would have disappeared.

So the entire building, and the detailed investigation of where the blast points were, got razed 3-4 days later “to save the American people the continuing pain of looking at the ruined building.”

Yeah he would have come out... unless he wasn’t actually executed. Lemme see, it went fast, and *I* never saw his body, have you? /sarc off

"And the goverment has.."

Where do you get such outlandish ideas?

I suppose you think all conspiracies are figments of someone's imagination?

[festus]

There are many serious and unexplained issues in this case.

But if McVeigh was an FBI agent, would not he have come out with that rather than face execution in silence?

Well one thing that always gives me pause is the fact that he was still breathing, according to a local reporter who was present for McVeigh's execution, when he was pronounced dead, coupled with the fact that they never did an autopsy ( standard procedure in executions for reasons I don't understand ) and AFAIK the body was never turned over to kin.

Not reaching any conclusions just saying that it puzzles me how a dead guy is still breathing at the end of an execution.....

Comrade Clinton would never lie , or do anything immoral .....
