London's Evening Standard -- "Iraqis Linked to Oklahoma Atrocity"

Good news. It was a fair and objective article that just layed out things as they stand today. Glad to see it made a British paper.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads up!

[AdA$tra]

This story interests me. Ping away.

The Black Hall of Fame President didn't want it to be Muslim or Iraqi terrorists! How could that help him at the polls?
Thank goodness this is starting to unfold, now if only we could get our own mainstream media to start reporting this!
Well, I have always been a dreamer.

[ladyinred]

I think we can expect the good and honorable Ashcroft to do something about this with the okay he would need. Can anyone spell National Security? The Bush administration is not the corrupt ones here folks. With all due respect, this is a coverup by the Clinton/Reno regime.
We shall see what we shall see.

Sounds good, but actions speak louder....

We shall see what we shall see

I agree.

[PJ-Comix]

I hope Drudge headlines this story.

How do you know they didn't?

You think they make public every piece of information they glean?

[Prodigal Son]

How do you know they did? This is like trying to prove there isn't a giant pink elephant in orbit around Pluto. Do you have any reason to suspect they "sweated him" and broke him down? They're treating the Gitmo prisoners like they were in the Ritz Carlton or something- what could they possibly have done to McVeigh to make him pony up any info? Had I been McVeigh- I would have traded any info for my death sentence. But that's just me.

At any rate, I don't care. I'm glad they executed McVeigh- he was a cowardly anti-American dog and bin Laden's soul mate. If anybody deserved executing, it was him. If he took any info with him when they gave him his injection- it's a moot point now, isn't it?

[Guillermo]

Do you have any reason to suspect they "sweated him" and broke him down?

Logic tells me they did. And the same logic tells me that they wouldn't make a spectacle out of it. I mean, why wouldn't they have broken him down?

[Former Proud Canadian]

I haven't trusted any government since Harry Anslinger testified before congress and they believed him.

[Prodigal Son]

Because if anybody couldn't do it right- it would be the FBI. How could they have broken him down anyway? Feed him Fruit Loops everyday like they do in Gitmo? I wouldn't hire the Feds to sweep my driveway, much less break down a smug and self righteous nut like McVeigh. Seriously, what, did they take him in a back room and beat him? McVeigh, it seemed was very anti-Fed. He probably would've taken it as a mark of pride to deny them any info he possessed.

They sweat criminals every day and rarely get them to "rat" unless they offer them something in return- like amnesty or a plea bargain. If they succesfully sweated some choice morsel of info out of McVeigh, he must be one of the dumbest individuals to have ever walked the planet. "McVeigh, tell us what you know and we promise to execute you" "OK". I mean dumb as a box of hammers he would be to accept a deal like that. And if he wanted to die, they'd have no leverage to sweat him with.

What about that other scumbag- Nichols? He seems pretty interested in not getting the death penalty- why has he not come public with all this secret Middle East connection business? He'd have to know about it. This would be the opportune time to come out with that if he had it. He could probably finagle a reduced sentence, perhaps witness protection program for when he was eventually released and get rich from the book and movie contracts in the process. He has many reasons to come out with this- including to save his own neck.

But, it's like I said- I don't really care. McVeigh is just one less terrorist we have to kill at this point. If he had info and he didn't share it with anyone- it's a moot point now. He was a loser and now he's lost forever.
