First, I don't believe any U.S. government, including Clinton's, targeted the families of Americans to cover up a foreign strike that he was extremely interested in undertaking.

Second, threaten BOTH families? I think not.

Third, McVeigh "shared credit" with Nichols.

Fourth, as I said, Lance has made a detailed review of Davis---and is sympathetic---but finds the evidence severely lacking.

...and neither do I.

Recipe for "Right Wing Surprise".

Take:

• 2 angry young men that see themselves as “patriots”
• Add 1 genuine Muslim terrorist group, seasoned with logistic support (cash)
• Add 1 department of bureaucratic ineptitude in managing a sting operation (FBI).

Combine ingredients and stir. When the mixture has been thoroughly stirred up:

• Add 7 cases of improperly stored military explosives held in a commercial office building.
• 1 Rogue agency (ATF) that was never authorized to have military explosives on site.
• 1 ton or so of nitrate-based fertilizer in a rental truck parked out front.
• 1 rogue informant who never passes the word along to his handlers.

Important!

This preparation requires careful monitoring in the last few minutes of cooking to avoid messy blow-back!

Bake and serve in a covered-up dish. Season with the usual condiments. Clean up thoroughly afterwards to avoid embarrassing odors.

Third, McVeigh "shared credit" with Nichols.

McVeigh presented himself as a "soldier" fighting for a "cause". Nichols fit into that narrative. Muslim terrorist backers did not.

Nichols made one carefully government controlled and stage-managed appearance after his arrest. He is now in "SuperMax" federal prison for the rest of his life. We will never again hear anything one way or another from him.
