Could OKC 'silver bullet' have prevented 9-11?

New book connects the dots from Saddam to 1995 attack
With the nation's attention drawn to the 9-11 Commission hearings and high-level finger pointing on all sides, investigative reporter Jayna Davis' newly released book, "The Third Terrorist: The Middle Eastern Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing," sets out a disturbing scenario of law-enforcement failures and suggests the Sept. 11 attacks possibly could have been prevented if evidence of an Iraqi and al-Qaida link to OKC had been pursued.
In her book, published by WND Books, Davis documents a compelling body of evidence that illustrates how Iraqi intelligence agents infiltrated the United States to recruit and assist Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building - evidence the FBI refused to receive from Davis and investigate in 1997. Among the many revelations are court records that suggest one of McVeigh's and Nichols's accused Middle Eastern handlers had foreknowledge of the 9-11 plot.
Furthermore, Davis documents her contention the government purposefully and willfully ignored evidence that implicated Middle Eastern suspects - evidence that FBI and governmental sources believe possibly could have prevented the terrorist attacks of 9-11.
Davis writes that in November 1997, Hussain Hashem Al-Hussaini - a former Iraqi Republican Guardsman whom multiple eyewitnesses identified as McVeigh's elusive accomplice, John Doe 2 - confided to his psychiatrist that he was anxious about his airport job because "if something were to happen there, I (Al-Hussaini) would be a suspect." At the time, Al-Hussaini was employed at Boston Logan International Airport, where two of the four 9-11 suicide hijackings originated.
Iraq-al-Qaida link
"The Third Terrorist" strongly rebuts former Clinton aide Richard Clarke's assertion that Saddam and al-Qaida were not linked, exposing Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh as a "lily white" recruit who acted in collusion with a cadre of Iraqi soldiers.
In his book, "Against All Enemies," Clarke acknowledges he "could never disprove" that McVeigh's accomplice, Terry Nichols, learned the macabre genius of terrorist bomb making under the training of Philippines-based al-Qaida explosives expert Ramzi Yousef, the convicted mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Davis first broke this lead eight years ago and uncovered eyewitness testimony directly linking the Kansas farmer to Osama bin Laden's chief general. According to her research, Terry Nichols and Ramzi Yousef met in the southern Philippines in the early 1990s to discuss bomb making.
Other revelations in Davis' book include:
a.. Saddam Hussein dispatched intelligence operatives to carry out the bombing of an American federal building to avenge his humiliating Gulf War defeat.
b.. Acting upon evidence compiled by Davis, David Schippers (former chief investigator for the impeachment of Bill Clinton) demanded a June 2001 meeting with Attorney General John Ashcroft to prevent what he prophetically termed "terrorists blowing up Lower Manhattan."
c.. The failure to examine a Middle Eastern connection in Oklahoma City spawned an emboldened Islamic extremist entity to commit wholesale murder on a scale the world had never before seen.
d.. What Davis calls the "proven connection" between bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Commented R. James Woolsey, director of central intelligence, from 1993-1995: "This fascinating product of Jayna Davis' thorough and dogged investigative reporting effectively shifts the burden of proof to those who would still contend that McVeigh and Nichols executed the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing without the support of a group or groups from the Middle East."

There is still one key witness to the OKC bombings still alive (after McVeigh was prematurely executed before telling the whole story).
Let's hope we can keep him alive long enough to squeal.

Could OKC 'silver bullet' have prevented 9-11? The 'silver bullet' (Jesus and Christian Bible Moral/Wisdom Absolutes) have been 'rejected' by the U.S.A. and its (educational) 'Agencies' for well over 60 years.
Throw out the 10 Commandments and Jesus' Christianity,.....and only enemies and (Darwinist/agnostic/ACLU) lawyers are left.

Folks...this is a must read. I have had the opportunity to review a lot of Jayna's research prior to the writing of this book. She even let me interview some of her witnesses. All I can say is that she has done a thorough job of research and investigation, and I believe she has uncovered so much that the government wanted to remain secret and unknown. At the time of the OKC bombing, I was in LE with the state of OK. I was at the command post in OKC within 45 minutes to an hour after the bombing and I can tell you, there was no misunderstanding that the initial suspect information, from more than one witness (as I understood) was about ME males. They were looking all over for them. It was very specific information. I have seen a photo comparison of the ME guy that sued Jayna, and John Doe #2. If you make the photo and the composite sketch the same size, and overlay them together...guess what...they match perfectly. As if, the FBI sketch artist used the photo of the ME guy that sued Jayna for his sketch.
Read the book.

Yes. It seems she needs to be put under oath about more than just that memo that she wrote.

Is there a pic of Alhusseini somewhere? Some have posted pics of Padilla, an (as far as we know) unrelated case, and the resemblance is uncanny.
Since you are familiar with this whole thing, why do you think the Bush Admin hasn't used Jayna's info as justification for the Iraq invasion? Some have brought up the possibility of the FBI files that the Clintons have, and dirty info on Bush Sr. That W is covering for his father. Any thoughts?

Thanks, keep me on.
Even though the OKC-911 link hasn't made the headlines in the major media (yet) the Gorelick "wall memorandum" certainly has.
I think Ms Gorelick will have to resign pretty soon, or else they will start to make the connections between Clinton's foreign business deals and the Wall and Ms Gorelicks present business companions (see link).

How does Ms Davis's obsrevations/conclusions tally with Evans-Pritchard's book? (which I must admit I haven't read).

Do you know what happened to all the tapes that were rolling on/in/around the Murrah building at the time of and prior to the explosion?

I agree with at least one thing, the Middle Eastern aspect of the Oklahoma City bombing was noticably poo-pooed.
