There are many long-time followers of the OKC investigation here who have never forgotten-and will never forget- how Jayna Davis got OKCSubmariner banned from FR. It is quite reasonable in my mind to question if Jayna Davis--supposed crusader for truth--hasn't been compromised in some way.
She most certainly deserves credit for her efforts in the beginning to get to the truth--but her treatment of OKCSubmariner at the end suggests to me she has been compromised.
I do not believe that, either.
My understanding was that he was booted for (repeatedly) posting accusative statements as fact -- without attribution or references to back up his accusations.
Honway, we corresponded via FReepmail about Briley's getting booted. Do you belive Lion's Cub 's claim?
TXnMA (No Longer!!!)
If producing "direct evidence" does not compromise the integrity of any current investigation or place any sources in jeopardy, I cannot find any logical reason for keeping it under wraps. In fact, making such evidence public would further legitimize the claims of the individual citing the evidence, and obviously bolster his/her credibility.
Having said that, am I missing something?
Second, I would like to focus my comments toward encouraging Jayna Davis and Nancie Drew to post the Herb Johnson letter and the prior warning memos on jaynadavis.com.
The specific Herb Johnson letter I am referring to is the one written in September of 1998. Herb Johnson, before his death in November of 1998,was the chief of staff for Senator Inhofe. At the request of Dan Nelson, Herb Johnson wrote a letter memoralizing a conversation with a close friend who was working in the Command Center of the OKC Bombing Task Force. The letter descibed the directive the Task Force received approximately 72 hours after the bombing which ordered the FBI Agents to ignore the Middle Eastern participants in the bombing.
Thank you for staing it much more clearly than I can. In the "How can I Help" portion of Jayna's website, she encourages people to write our elected represenatives which is the best hope remaining for justice.
Many in Washington know the name Herb Johnson. Consider what an increased impact a letter to your Senator requesting an investigation into the ME connection would have if you could include a copy of Herb Johnson's letter describing the directive to ignore the ME connection to the bombing.
If Jayna would post a copy on her website it would bolster the case we are all trying to make to our family, friends and elected officials. Please consider emailing jayna at jaynadavis.com and requesting a copy of the Herb Johnson letter and the prior warning documents be posted at jaynadavis.com.
If she posts the documents, I believe others and I can be more effective in carrying out her recommendations in "How Can I Help".

How can I help?
There are a number of different ways to get involved.
First, contact your elected representatives, both local and national, and urge them to look into this matter and contact Jayna. Write them a personal letter (please NO mass chain emails!) and express your concern and an expectation that they will respond properly.
Second, contact your local print and broadcast media (both TV and radio) and suggest they cover the story.
Third, share the JaynaDavis.com link with your friends and post the link on any message board threads that have already mentioned the investigation
...and that's because Rush Limbaugh and AM talk radio were really to blame...
Sorry, wrong thread!
I don't believe that there is any complicity on the part of President Bush and AG Ashcroft. You must understand the pecking order within the Justice Department. There are numerous layers within Justice, and the FBI. I can't remember the number, but within the FBI alone, there are thousands and thousands of employees. Decisions can be made by midlevel management that won't reach the upper levels within Justice in DC, or the AG and most certainly the Oval Office. And field agents can be controlled by midlevel management, and told to drop this investigation or that, and Washington will never know. And remember, this all occurred under the Clinton administration. Under the Clinton justice department. Under Reno. Now tell me. Do you think that Clinton's justice department could be compromised? Remember, what was the one thing that Clinton was striving for to establish his legacy? Mid-East Peace. Peace between Israel and the Arab nations. What would the open knowledge of arab nation sponsored acts of war against the US cause? A US military response to the arab nation or nations that sponsored that act of war. What would US military action against an Arab nation do to middle east peace? Well, it would kill it. Thus killing Clinton's legacy. Therefore, acknowledgement that the OKC bombing was tied to one or more arab group or nation would have killed Clinton's legacy. Therefore, the possibility that the investigation was re-routed another direction. Clinton and Reno are gone. But, many of those midlevel justice operatives are still in place. Their butts are still on the line. President Bush and AG Ashcroft came into office, in the dark, because the lights were turned out on this thing years before Bush and Ashcroft were in positions to look. I believe that if this evidence can ever truely see the light of day, then Bush and Ashcroft will do the right thing. I don't believe that they will cover it up. But they depend on those midlevel Justice operatives. They can only rely on what is given to them. So it will take a congressional review/task force/investigation to ferret out the truth.
But hey, that is just my humble opinion. I have no evidence other than what Jayna has uncovered, and my beliefs. Other than to reiterate again. I was there on 4-19-95. I stood at the lip of the blast crater around 9:45 AM. I ran harder than I have ever run, or will run again, when the fireman popped up out of the rubble and hollered that he had found another possible bomb. (Turns out it was some type of device in the rubble of the ATF office.) I ran to the makeshift command post near the intersection of 7th and Harvey. And I was there when the ranking officers were discussing that fact that witnesses had seen two (2) middle eastern men (actually, I believe the term used was "arab" men) were seen fleeing the Murrah building in a pickup truck, just moments before the bomb went off. I remember, LEOs making statements that it was time for us, the US, to "nuke those damn ra_ heads off the face of the earth". And I remember hearing the LE discussions regarding the APBs and BOLOs that were immediately thereafter released to all of us LEOs. And, I know that there were numerous arabic men that were stopped and detained for questioning the first few hours after the bombing. So, I will always believe, and I will go to my grave with the belief that there were others involved. Was there ME state sponsorship? I don't have first hand knowledge of that. But were McVeigh and Nichols alone? From what I saw, and heard, NO.
Ashcrofts handlers said, "Keep this mess covered up!!".
And he did as he was told....
Release the Tapes!
traditionally, oklahoma corporation commission appointments have been a real political plum for supporters of the governor?
Sorry, yukong, you have been misinformed.
