Not every villain in the Middle East is purely motivated by publicity...

Same with calling all those TWA800 eyewitnesses a bunch of drunks.
Another question ... If the perps were middle eastern, why would they not want credit for the deed? Having it attributed to a domestic crazy (McVeigh) robs the attack of much of its psychological effectiveness, both against us and for them. While they would not want their names and map coordinates divulged, they would certainly want it known that Allah's forces had struck a major blow against the Great Satan.
Don't forget Kallstrom.
No dice. Timmy was cremated. I.e., converted to a fine light powder (not sure about the microns, however).
This could have been a test-run, it could have been a jab to see how the FBI would react, to see how Clinton would react, it could have been pure revenge
These are not ordinary terrorist - they don't have a ransom note or a political agenda other than that espoused by Pinky and The Brain - hmmm... there's an intersting paralell - they just want to hit the US at any cost, any place, and bring us down.
All the more reason to hit 'em back harder than they hit us - "Hamma Rules", I believe - the only thing they understand.
I was at Laughlin AFB, TX, in 1979, when we were teaching Iranian students to fly, which they were very poor at, but you are right, they were all pulled out of pilot training, and most sent back to Iran.
which leads me to be extremely troubled that bush/ashcroft allowed the execution of mcveigh and seems uninterested in this information. we'll never learn the truth because our government will continue to coverup the truth.

Yeah, it definitely sucks it's not a perfect world. What's happening in the Kashmir and "palestine" deserves a lot better treatment from us than it's going to be possible to give.
Still and all, we need to handle Iraq decisively and stay VERY cozy with the Pakistani nukes.
"Responsible USG officials need to try and question Terry Nichols more thoroughly and immediately about ME connections to the OKC case because it is likely the same ME terror cells and groups are still operating in the US , may have assisted the 9/11/2001 attacks, and could assist in future attacks.
my question is if nichols comes clean on details of ME involvement should his sentence be commuted? if he did cooperate, how long before nichols would come down with an acute case of arkancide?
Who in the Bush administration has the authority and the balls to purge this rogue agency?
