The only flaw in this is that if I remember correctly John Doe #2 was described as a white guy.

Good point, but somehow I don't think the OK bombing conspiracy theorists are gonna let this little 'ol detail get in the way of a favored theory. Now if they could just find a way to convert McVeigh from an agnostic to a Muslim post mortem...

Of course you forgot to read the reports from eyewitnesses before assuming that JD2 was originally reported to be white. Oops. I'll give you a hint (he wasn't!)

From another journalist following the leads... Bryan Preston writes here at JunkyardBlog

"According to several witnesses, McVeigh and Nichols were joined in their travels shortly before the bombing by a third man, described as shorter than the other two, dark haired, muscular and with an olive complexion. Some described him as Middle Eastern, others, Italian, or simply “swarthy.” "...Many other witnesses insist that McVeigh traveled in the company of one or more men in addition to Nichols, and several described one of these men as shorter than McVeigh, dark haired, dark complexion. These witnesses place John Doe #2 with McVeigh at the Ryder rental office where he acquired the truck, at local restaurants, and even fleeing the scene of the bombing itself. None of these witnesses has ever been impeached or refuted."

He also recently wrote a great NRO piece on Iraq

You may want to read this before you laugh at the thought of agnostic McVeigh having something in common with Muslims. Besides, McVeigh has been mostly connected to the more secular Iraqis
