Finally Revealed: Timothy McVeigh Was A Tax Protestor!

AP reporter Jim Vertuno claims that the 1995 Oklahoma bombing was a tax protest... Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh said ... said that he was avenging the slaughter of the Branch Dividians at Waco. (Other letters also mention Ruby Ridge.) He never mentions taxes.

Why the heck does ANYONE with two brain cells think they're going to get anything resembling the truth from AP anymore?

That's an odd way of describing little kids burning alive.

It's the Federal Bureau of Incineration way.

I remember that too, but frankly I didn’t believe it - it sounded at the time like they were engineering the story but decided to go a different direction.
