Stashed in 700 feet of boxes tucked away at the University of Texas at Austin lies a detailed look at the case of Timothy McVeigh.
He's the Gulf War veteran executed in 2001 for bombing the federal building in Oklahoma City.
McVeigh lead counsel Stephen Jones of Enid, Okla., donated transcripts, FBI reports, correspondence, videotapes and other materials to UT a few years ago, but the archive didn't become public until a federal court ruled this month that Jones couldn't claim a charitable tax deduction for the gift.
The archive sits in the University's Center for American History. It's a likely treasure trove for academic researchers, conspiracy theorists and others who are curious about the April 1995 bombing that killed 168 people.
The files include defense materials as well as copies of prosecution materials that were shared with McVeigh's lawyers.

I'm trying to find out now...but they will not be in until Monday, I am sure. There is nothing on their website yet but the story did just break also. Here is the website for The Center for American History...which is an awesome site to browse.

If you ask them for anything, please ask them for a copy of the Secret Service memo and the contents of the video that the Secret Service agent references in the NPR link above.

I think we need to put Dan Rather on the job.
Somewhere in all these files he WILL FINALLY find the smoking gun that says it's Bush's fault, even if he has to make it up, at least Microsoft was around at the time

I noticed that also. Odd they never included that sort of thing before we went into Iraq, at least not that I noticed anyway.
I hoped you listened to the NPR link. Chilling.

Can anyone explain to me why Mc Veigh spent so few years sitting on death row?

Odd they never included that sort of thing before we went into Iraq,Sure they did, only it was about every Nam vet who had a scrape with the law. It's sickening and a typical liberal way to malign the military.

I'd really like to know who is John Doe # 2 The rental clerk described in considerable detail two very different looking men standing at the counter together which was incorrect due to the requirements of a "nice clean case" mandating that there had to be just one Caucasian male standing at the counter.

It would otherwise mess up the NWO, yet another Clinton legacy, Bush's "New Tone", etc.
Not to mention all the bribes from our "friends" that the politicians are so greedy for.
To: Ann Archy
I can’t wait to see what is in all those boxes though. Does it include all the ones the FBI keeps...finding?

What a weasel! Trying to get blood money out of these documents.

I just hope he did not follow the FBI protocol of the Janet Reno days and ‘lose’ a lot of stuff.
