Thanks for the article. It says:

"It may well be that McVeigh and Nichols acted alone." No it may not be. It was conceded that "unknown others" were involved, and the only question is - who were they? It is true that the disinterest of the law enforcement officials is "unbelievable", and that is what I can never explain. I can only suppose (hope) that they are working undercover, to get the real organisers. But their efforts, if they are making them, seem to have been lame.

I agree, but a journalist should be open to all possibilities *reporting both sides* (unless they are investigating and doing an expose etc.), including only Nichols and McVeigh, though it obviously is not what really happened.

Jayna Davis is acting as an investigative reporter and has more leeway to not be open to such possibilities.

What will have to happen before ABCNNBCBS air this on the six o'clock news?

According to McVeigh's sister, he called her shortly before the bombimg and told her he was involved in special forces and doing an op for them...

Maybe that explains why he also made an appearance at a militia meeting (Michigan Militia, I think), where he was quickly expelled for making provocative suggestions...

Was McVeigh a patsy? Was he setup thinking he was serving his country and his military operating undercover? Was the reason the truth never came out because he feared for his family?

We already know that Nichols made many trips to the Philippines and met with Al-Queda.

We also know that Hussein Al-Husseini described in the article, actually worked at Logan Airport and has access to these airplanes.

How is this all allowed to happen?

But then he called back and asked Davis not to air them. "He said the issue had gotten too hot, and no one wanted to deal with it. So I honored his request" at the time, she says. The warnings were never publicized.

Could this be the explanation for Jayna Davis's behavior in other respects as well?

Well I'm impressed. There's 12 replies so far, and I haven't read "tin foil hats" or whatever the hell the phrase is that the good folk use here whenever somebody asks questions or digs for news as you have.

Yes, there's many unanswered questions regarding the OKC bombings, and I wonder if any will ever be fully answered.

[glorygirl]

Can't take credit for any digging. See this thread.

More on my homepage, too.

The LA Weekly is a leftist rag along the lines of the Village Voice. (Having said that, they feature some good writing.) This report is especially interesting, inasmuch as it goes against the grain of the Weekly's agenda.

I think it is becoming a mainstream idea that Al Quaida's campaign against the U.S. is longstanding. It might reach all the way back to the Air Arrow crash in Newfoundland that killed a planeload of the 101st Airborne. Certainly OKC looks a lot like the embassy bombings in Africa that are absolutely known to be an Al Quaida attack.

The problem with admitting these things is that two uncomfortable questions come up:

1. Why we did we do so little against Al Quaida, or their probable sponsors in Iraq and/or Iran, or against their sources of money in Saudi, before 9/11?

2. Why do we still tolerate Islamofacist mosques and other organizations in the U.S., and why have we not deported all illegal aliens from Islamic countries and reviewed the visa status of all legal visitors from those places?

For whatever it's worth, this will go out in the morning's mass email to letters to editors & "opinionators"- like Hannity, Rush, and Larry Elder. It will get seen.

I have frequently called the 1990's the

"Decade of Fraud(s)"

...this story is yet another- who knows what really happened? There is more there than we were told.

'There's 12 replies so far, and I haven't read "tin foil hats"'

That's because the tin foil hat crowd becomes more credible as the details leak out.
