Not that Clarke has any credibility left, but since so many others, including Congressmen, want to reopen the OKC investigation, I thought this tidbit in Clarke's book was interesting:


On page 127 of Clarke's new book "Against All Enemies", Clarke notes that it's possible that al Qaida operatives in the Phillipes "taught Terry Nichols how to blow up the Oklahoma Federal Building." Intelligence places Nichols there on the same days as Ramzi Yousef, and "we do know that Nichols's bombs did not work before his Philippines stay and were deadly when he returned."

And yet, the Clinton administration focused exclusively on homegrown terrorists, and never talked publicly about this matter. Laurie Mylroie, formerly of the Clinton administration, and others, have since talked about the Iraqi connection to the OKC bombing frequently.

For some reason, I think we can all guess why, the Clinton administration didn't want there to be a middle east connection to the OKC bombing. All of us watching it live heard over and over the first day or so about John Doe 1 and 2 and that they were middle eastern.

Clinton did use this horrific bombing to discredit the right, and Rush Limbaugh. I suppose a Middle East connection wouldn't harm the religious right and talk radio? Also, investigative reporters found connections to Iraq, you know that place we shouldn't have gone to war against? What a web of deceit Mr. Clarke.

Why would the FBI have kept evidence a secret? Why not follow all leads?

Now why would anyone believe that the Iraqis and al-Queda were behind this? Everyone knows how nice and sweet Uncle Saddam was and how he could have never worked with Osama since they were sooo antagonistic.
