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."

Thanks for the ping.
Gorelicker was a busy lesbian during the Clintoon years.
It is pretty obvious that she did many of the things we blamed Jake Reno for.
Now the $64 million question, is who controlled Gorelicker, recommended her and didn't "Vet" her?

I was half asleep when I heard him and was hoping I could find out more about what he was saying.
Thanks for posting this.

I believe Klintoon knew this and it was part of their plan. Recall how they played this, blaming it on "right wing wackos." Propganda against patriotic Americans. The pieces of the puzzle all fit, yet many still can't put it together. It is all so damn obvious.

ovrtaxt, may I be added to your ping list on OKC-911 link? I think Glenn Beck said Davis will be on his program Monday.

This ifno was posted by Fracas on another Gorelick thread. Did you know that David Gregory (yes, that David Gregory) married the OKC prosecutor Beth Wilkinson last year?

Bump or back to the top. When you post a comment on a thread, that thread gets moved to the top of the list of topics you see when you click "browse." It's a way of keeping a thread active.

Have wondered if Gorelick passed the Aldrich FBI security interviews. He mentioned in his book...can't remember the name right now but its the one that was blacklisted by media...that a lot of Clintonistas couldn't pass security check. Some didn't even bother to respond to security check requests.
...and for extra points - any truth to the rumor she is related to Kenny G?

I'm probably the one who needs the help, Grampa D! I remember someone musing on whether they were related or not and wondered if it was a fact. Just a Trivial Pursuit kind of question! Do you recall Gary Aldrich and Jayna Davis having a radio interview together some time ago? I'm thinking it was maybe 2 years ago or so. Memory is not so good, so I may be hallucinating!

I don't believe for one second that the government "conspired" to blow up a federal building. That just makes no sense.
My theory is very simple and elegant. The Klintoon Administration did not want to deal with Iraq or Al-Qaeda (or anything else that involved serious work) which may have precipitated a major war on terror in 1995. So they chose to ignore them before and after OKC. The "wall" between "intelligence" and criminal set up by Gorelick on March 4, 1995 in the secret memo was essentially a hear no evil, see no evil effort to shut out the rumblings they were getting. And the fortuitous use of a "lily-white" by Iraqi operatives for OKC on April 19 provided the perfect scapegoat who was now desperately needed to cover up the previous dereliction by Gorelick and others. In my theory, the Gorelick memo is the smoking gun for both OKC and 9/11. While the memo represents a dereliction and negligence, the coverup of the Iraq-OKC connection to avoid embarrassment and political fallout over the memo and other actions represents deliberate overt conspiracy to obstruct justice.
I think that is why the exact date is not on the released memo which would show that it preceded OKC by 6 weeks. But Janet Reno unmistakable refered to it in a publically available memo, giving the date as March 4, 1995.

I'm 65 and have a hard time remembering if I had breakfast and what I had an hour or so later. So I'm out of the loop re your questions.
