The conviction of American terrorists, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, symbolizes the FBI's crown jewel of criminal prosecutions. So why do questions linger? Does the official account of what transpired on April 19, 1995 reveal all that certain federal investigators know? In the wake of the 1995 bombing, national polls showed 80 percent of Americans believed additional conspirators evaded capture. Today, as the 16th anniversary approaches, the prospect of shadowy terrorists walking free still pervades the country's psyche. This time, however, the FBI itself is fueling the flames of public distrust.
Last week the vault of top-secret bombing evidence cracked open. The Department of Justice, responding to Freedom of Information Act requests, released a declassified report detailing the May 26, 2005 interrogation of Terry Nichols. According to the record, Nichols broke his decade-long silence, acknowledging his hands-on role in constructing the massive truck bomb that demolished the Oklahoma City Murrah Building. While this revelation was all but academic, what Nichols said next threatens to rewrite history.
During the interview, the convicted bomber unleashed a startling admission: John Doe 2 exists. The FBI report states, "Nichols advised that John Doe 2's name had not been mentioned during the (FBI) investigation, and therefore, he feared for his life and his family's well-being should it become public."
One seemingly innocuous statement in this recently declassified FBI memo effectively shatters the government myth that two angry white males singlehandedly pulled off the crime of the 20th century. To begin, Nichols clearly implied that he knew the identity of John Doe 2 when asserting that his co-conspirator's name "had not been mentioned" during the prodigious FBI investigation. Keep in mind, the bomber had direct access to sealed court files and classified discovery materials that federal prosecutors were legally required to disclose to his defense lawyers

That is exactly how it is laid out in Jayna Davis’ book. But hey, anyone who reads the book and doesn’t label the author as an extremist with an agenda is marginalized by the media outlets AND the government.
I find this aspect of the situation even more disturbing, by far, than the fact that middle eastern agents may have been involved, partiularly Iraqi agents.
I agree. She covers that in the book, as I recall. I find that disturbing.

Walid Shoebat claims to be eye-witness that WMDs WERE in Iraq, then moved to Syria just before inspectors arrived.
All that “marginalization” that the media has been doing of people they don’t like or who don’t agree with them is starting in fact to marginmalize THE MEDIA. And the extreme libs in Congress like Schumer and Durbin also.
People are paying attention at last and they are appalled.
As proof I will point to plummeting newspaper readership and lousy ratings for CNN and MSNBC.
I would say it is as serious as a major heart attack.
I was talking about the reporting which you must admit was pretty darn sketchy.
The average voter just doesn’t have the time to independently investigate every possible lead.
I supported the war out of raw hate for Saddam Hussein and I was happy to get rid of him for any reason. His butchery of civilians made Gaddafi look like a Cub Scout.
BTTT!
It’s on Youtube. Supposed (it is hard to trust anything anymore) live TV coverage from 1995: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMrYeMTXifc (talks of 3 bombs, 2nd and 3rd being defused)
