Remember, right after 9/11 there were calls to make the FBI more "investigative" than "prosecutorial." That is, look for whole truths, rather than ones that will get "wins" in the Courts. I think a lot of this was at play in the FBI investigation.

And the trial of McVeigh was not meant to flesh out the conspiracy. His lawyer tried to get him off, not implicate him further.

I would like to know the status of the Subway sandwich shop videotape of McVeigh and others. The FBI seized it.

Yes, but what about the effort to stop his execution? At the time, the whole "fraud upon the court" thing didn't make much sense to me. Now it does.It seems almost crystal clear, in fact. Except that we still don't know the truth

Kind of weird, isn't it, that nobody seems to have made much of the fact that Sept. 11 was the anniversary date of Ramzi Youssef's conviction, doesn't it? (A bit more than the fact that it was also the three-month anniversary of McVeigh's execution)

I know there are a lot of people who have a lot of unspoken thoughts (as I do) about this.

If Bush is truly "beholden" to special interests who want to keep this secret, I hope he has or soon develops the good sense and cojones to realize that he and the American people will be a whole lot better off when the truth is told.
