newsweak attempts to slam burton & shippers:

"Some attorneys here," says a staffer, "think it's wacko."

"The rush to execute McVeigh may have been another Clinton coverup. If it turns out that this is true, Clinton should be drawn and quartered!"

You know, somebody is eventually gonna break their back bending over backwards to such an extreme to cover for the current Mob-in-Charge.

And I'm getting a sore neck from shaking my head in disbelief at some of the lame cover offered.

Your tax dollars at work: Was al Qaeda at OK City?


Rep. Dan Burton, chair of the House Government Reform Committee, is an unabashed investigator of the feds, no matter how far-fetched the charges. But even his own team thinks he has gone off the deep end with his latest project: allegations that Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh is tied to Islamic terrorists. McVeigh, the story goes, met in an Oklahoma City motel with Iraqi agents before the 1995 explosion.

Part two: unsubstantiated reports that two 9/11 hijackers holed up with the suspected 20th attacker, Zacarias Moussaoui, in the same motel last July. Coincidence? Sources say Burton sent investigators to OK City to sniff around, tasked three staffers to the probe, and asked David Schippers, who led a House panel on Bill Clinton's impeachment, to advise. But that's not all: Burton wants more staff. While there's lots of circumstantial evidence to investigate, like an allegation that the FBI stopped an agent from looking into the Iraqi angle, the feds say it's a waste of money. Ditto some in his committee. "Some attorneys here," says a staffer, "think it's wacko."
