Attorney: Oklahoma City bombing tapes appear edited

Long-secret security tapes showing the chaos immediately after the 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building are blank in the minutes before the blast and appear to have been edited, an attorney who obtained the recordings said Sunday.

The real story is what's missing," said Jesse Trentadue, a Salt Lake City attorney who obtained the recordings through the federal Freedom of Information Act as part of an unofficial inquiry he is conducting into the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people and injured hundreds more.

He said government officials claim the security cameras did not record the minutes before the bombing because "they had run out of tape" or "the tape was being replaced."

"The interesting thing is they spring back on after 9:02," he said. "The absence of footage from these crucial time intervals is evidence that there is something there that the FBI doesn't want anybody to see."

Well, it could be that part of the original video was damaged, or perhaps it is indeed purposely being deleted, for some still-unknown reason. I doubt that we'll get to the bottom of this with Obama at the helm.

Or perhaps Clinton really wanted to push through the anti-gun legislation and go after militia groups. But, it makes alot more sense for a white supremist to be teaming up with Arab terrorists, right?

Don’t forget about the Phoenix memos concerning the terrorist attacks of 9/11

Dead right on all points.

The lone OU bomber, the one with a Pake roommate, who lived a block from the Norman mosque, worn an accolyte beard, and made explosives using a common terrorist formula? Sure, he was just a mis-understood young man!

I recall watching the aftermath of the 95 bombing the morning it happened. Was amazed at how the story turned right before our eyes, from Arab-looking men driving away in a brown chevy pickup, to right wing knuckle dragger neo-nazis were the villians.

The 95 bombing investigation conducted by Ms Davis and documented to the nth degree in her book "The Third Terrorist" is a must read! It's guaranteed to make a believer out of even the worst skeptic.

What does Obama have to do with it? Wasn't some Republican fellow president for a few years before obama came along?

I read a very good book that convinced me that Moslem's were involved, but I cant remember the title or author. A middle eastern man was with McVeigh when he parked the truck.

Well, the point is, no Republican or Democrat President will direct his Justice Department to investigate this event. Since Obama is in power now, my observation most directly applies to him.

The book is a definite must read.

Of all the ridiculous statements that were made, I think the worst was the one about the suicide note three weeks after the bomber was blown up and trying to make everyone think with all those explosives in his apartment/car they didn’t bother to check his computer(s). If they were that inept, the whole local FBI office should have been fired.

Then they turned the Norman satellite office for white crime into a terrorism office.

Local video of Murrah Bombing being shown. Channel 4 is showing their film and they are comparing the video to the FBI. A guy who was in the bombing on the 7th floor who survived said he doesn’t recognize OKC in the FBI video at all and he knows OKC well. The video shows people in the bottom of a parking garage after the bombing leaving the area but that makes no sense as the parking garage was part of the Murrah Building that was blown up — you could not leave from the basement after the bomb. They did not do any follow-up questions after his statement he didn’t recognize OKC in the FBI video.

I've always felt that McVeigh was resigned that he was going to die.....I think he felt that he had the entire govt going to do him in and he had no chance.....even if he was not directly guilty, he must have realized that he was the one caught with the goods.....

he was stoic....

and for a DP person to be executed in such a short time, something truely stunk in that case...

The real interesting story behind McVeigh is that he claimed the military had implanted something into him for experimentation purposes. He was apparently seriously affected by the Gulf War, psychologically speaking.

There was a video out a few years back of McVeigh giving an interview with the Green Berets IIRC circa ‘93 (two years after he was supposedly out). I’ve always suspected the truth about OKC would have people marching on DC with pitchforks in hand.

This was very interesting comparing the names and opinions from then to what we know today. Thanks for the reminder.

Always wondered if there was more to this than we heard.

"The must stunning evidence he presented was columns that has significantly more damage. . ."

I believe that's the reason all the black plastic paper was used. To hide all of the squared-off cuts caused by brissance. (Michael Rivero -- there's your clue.)

Not sure what you mean and what Rivero has to do with it.

He was wondering what all the black plastic was being used for. If I’m right, it was used to hide the squared-off explosion points that only high intensity explosions would account for. The only explosives supposedly used on the Murrah Building were low intensity and definitely not powerful or fast enough to account for the brissance necessary for the clean cuts. And the story is, that there was only one type of explosives used. To show that there must have been more than one type of explosive device used would have destroyed the states’ case.
