I think that McVeigh and Nichols were played as “useful idiots” by at least one of our enemies.
It would not be that hard to find disgruntled Americans, and then offer some help in bomb training and the like. Your “useful idiots” might not ever even realize that they are being used.
Note that one of the incidents on this list involves OK authorities denying an Islamic connection to a crime where there obviously is one.
OK, yazoo, I posted without checking my facts and you called me on it. Good for you.
But now I have read up on Nichols and he does claim there were others involved. I guess you could say that a lot of unsubstantiated claims are made in prison but I can't help thinking that the Clinton and Bush administrations didn't have much interest in finding out if that particular claim is true.
Do you have any theories?
