The McVeigh trail was in Colorado though and I only found articles that related to the Nichols trial.


My view is that if a writer has her ideas endorsed only by her co-workers, it's akin to what is called in history and journalism a circular reference. If she gets paid to pontificate on certain issues and the government and the larger media rejects the idea, the author has to invent a conspiracy theory in order to keep getting paid to expound on their set of ideas-- think about those hucksters who go around saying you don't have to pay your income tax because of blah-blah-blah...

Its quite different from stories like Mena Airport that originated on the Left but were reported by both sides of the ideological 'publishing' divide, thus making it a more plausible story when seperate sources reach similiar conclusions.

So thousands of articles in the Oklahoma papers, written by different reporters from around the country oftentimes, means nothing. Administration official's words mean nothing. Clinton terrorist czar official's words mean nothing. Authors of several books words mean nothing.

You've made your position clear, John. It's absence of logic is evident, but your position is clear.

We will have to agree to disagree.

After you've read a few books about the topic and really shown a desire to learn, you will change your mind.
