I don't know what is going on between the Bushes and the Clintons. Their coziness is very odd.

Well, I smelled a rat when the gov. executed Tim McVay so quickly. have you EVER seen anyone be put to death so quickly after a guilty verdict? They can usually look forward to years in a cell before that happens..I've always thought that even tho he wasn't talking, the gov. didn't want to take any chances that he just might change his mind in the future, and they hurriedly got rid of him before he could possibly give out more information....I frankly think both he and Nichols were the "token fall guys", that the real brains behind the operation was probably a mid east terrorist group, and for whatever reason, our disgusting gov. didn't want to open that can of worms....business as usual.

HuntsvilleTxVeteran asks:
"Wasn't the "main" person convicted of the OKC bombing put to death so much faster than usual for a capital crime?"

Excellent observation. The lighting fast execution(silencing?)of McVeigh was also the first federal execution in 38 years.

Wasn't the "main" person convicted of the OKC bombing put to death so much faster than usual for a capital crime?"

wasn't the clinton administration against the death penalty?

[browngreengold]

Marking this one for sometime other than Christmas Eve night....too many things to accomplish...and wife will not allow me to sit here in front of this thing tonight.

Hopefully, Rohrabacher is not just posturing again.

I can't honestly recall a time when Rohrbacher was not posturing.

[PGalt]

BTTT! Many grrrreat FReeper comments.

What the really big mystery to me is that, GWB and the GOP have not called the Dims on this

Why hasn't GWB closed the borders? Why is GWB calling for amnesty? Why is GWB supporting the minimum wage?

[NewLand]

Your post is probably the most clear and probable explanation I have seen, and exactly what I have thought from the beginning. I remember those sketches of John Doe that looked like a ME'ster.

[FreeManWhoCan]

hmm...

[Piranha]

It was the Bush administration, and John Ashcroft's Department of Justice -- not the Clinton administration -- that rushed to put Timothy McVeigh to death.

[ovrtaxt]

OKC terrorism alert!

[DollyCali]

Oklahoma BUMP

[LurkedLongEnough]

X actly my thought.

I suspect there is something about Padilla that will burst out shortly.

[Candor7]

The truth about the bombing of the Murrah building will eventually come out. There were an inordinantly large number of Dept. of Justice officials who called in sick that day, for example.

Secndly the explosion was not a simple one, it was a preliminary explosion which caused a fuel air mixture that was set off in sequence...too sophisicated for the forensic conclusion of a simple fertilizer-fuel mixture.

The Clinton administration covered it up for some reason. Mistakes were made along the order that the tragedy could have been prevented but likely the lower echelon investigators were not allowed to act as soon as they could have to interdict McVeigh's tawdry group. Why? Bigger fish were involved, and they got away. So Clinton and his running dogs covered it up.And regretably, so did the Bush administration.

The twin towers may not have been the first Islamofascist sponsored attack on US soil.And perhaps the Bush administration did not want to upet the status quo with the Saudis over the incident. Little did our president know that his hand would be forced a few months later on 9/11.

[brityank]

Ping.

And, I might add, the whole "Republican Revolution" was turned back and blunted in it's momentum at all levels of government. Here in CA we took the state assembly majority for the first time in many decades and even conservative County Supervisors elected in 1994 were spurned. Some up north were even recalled for being too radically conservative.

Billy Clinton was exactly like Barney Fife. He said: "Jamie! (instead of Andy) We gotta nip these conservatives and their ground-swell in the bud! In the BUD, I tell ya!! Git-er-DONE!!!" (and she did)

[Candor7]

Did the Committee review any of the 20-some security videos that the FBI took from cameras in the vicinity of the Murrah Building? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

They did not review those tapes on the record. If you want a thorough forensic analysis of what DID happen,visit the link below.

It looks very, very suspicious. I believe there was a cover up, and that it involved a bungled operation. They let McVeigh and his foreign helpers get too far without stopping them.

"_phone record and witness testimony that persons associated with Middle Eastern terrorism in the Philippines may have had contact with Nichols, and that Nichols took a book about explosives to the Philippines. The FBI and Filipino police spent months investigating such a connection, but ruled it out.

_information from a former TV reporter concerning an Iraqi national who was in Oklahoma around the time of the bombing."

Like EVERYTHING the Clintonistas did, "Juan and Evita" had political motives here too. They were more interested in smearing "militia groups", "gun-owners" and the "vast right wing conspiracy (proud member since the 1990s)" than in finding the truth of the matter.
