Well, I know this...there were cameras all around the area. There were cameras on the federal building, that as I remember looked up and down 5th Street (the street the truck was parked on). There were cameras on adjacent buildings, pointed in various directions. There had to be video of a lot of the incident. I tend to believe the secret service reports.

>But if he wrote this from his prison cell, it isn't the same document as the one found in his sister's

Thank you! I'd never
read this. The source of this is
Media Bypass.

I'd heard of it, but
I had never tracked it down
because I'd seen it

described as McVeigh
speaking on his family! *
Yikes. I should have known.

------------------------------------------------------------

* "... In addition, Mr. McVeigh did grant an interview, concerning only his family and military background, to Media Bypass Magazine. Since Mr. McVeigh's transfer to the Federal Correctional Institution at Englewood, counsel for Mr. McVeigh has permitted Tom Brokaw from NBC News and Scott Pelley from CBS News to meet, film and record a very brief casual meeting with Mr. McVeigh. ...

That photo is quite damning. The dangling rebar with only small amounts of concrete left around the support columns would indicate a massive explosion underneath the street level. A micro nuke could do this, and it fits the profile of blowing/burning up one's own buildings and killing citizens to ram through stalled legislation.(Waco, Columbine)

The fact that the government moved quickly to demolish the rest of the building (aka destroy the evidence) makes complete sense if they used a micro nuke. They took all the debris and buried it and sealed it with concrete. Kinda precludes anyone discovering Plutonium 239 particles later.

Why is it our goobermint always seals things up for 100 years or buries the debris in concrete? (First shuttle wreckage, for another example) They wouldn't be HIDING anything, would they?

[JOAT]

Word has it there were as many as 8 tapes from nearby buildings rolling at the time the truck arrived, according to local news reports following the event. None of these tapes [which were confiscated by the FBI] were ever shown to the public or returned to the owners.

Hate to sound too "cynical" but I think this demonstrates the absolute neccesity of making copies of anything before turning them over to authorities. The Zapruder film comes to mind. Of course, don't be stupid enough to tell anyone you made a copy either.

(First shuttle wreckage, for another example)

Denial is a powerful motive. I know LOTS of people who immediately began to convince themselves the Challenger crew died instantly. I know enough about what it takes for things to explode violently enough to do that to know it didn't happen, and that the astronauts were well aware of what was going on all the way in.

Public myth-making is a facinating process. So is the destruction of those myths. The trust has inherent value. I hope the truth here comes out.

This sure as hell dropped off the radar fast didn't it?

[job]

parking lot video tape was from southwestern bell parking lot, walked through it many times.

[JOAT]

This sure as hell dropped off the radar fast didn't it?

Sure did. They really don't want this story getting 'legs.'

Even if a video surfaced, they would simply write it off as more members of McVeigh's 'cell' and use it as justification to crack down on 'extreme right-wingers' and/or to create a domestic CIA. In fact I believe they will do this as soon as we conveniently have another terror incident.

I can't believe you're not spinning any of this.

What's to 'spin' - the facts are facts, they *are* out there for the prudent to see, and the rest is hyperbole, 'spinning' and the intentional ignorance of those facts *for* the purpoe of book-sales (Jayna Davis comes to mind) ...

Working overtime on 911 testimony?

Goofball ... try to mis-represent my position on this subject?

[antceecee]

I never felt 'comfortable' with the white supremacist blame game the Clinton admin. pinned OKC to. Throughout the entire investigation and subsequent indictments and conviction of McVeigh I felt something was being covered up. When TWA 800 happened I had the same feeling we were being fed a coverup story. If this is true, why won't Republicans in Congress pursue bringing truth to light? Why won't the Bush admin demand a thorough investigation? Is there nothing there? Do both parties have something to hide? Perhaps Republicans fear a breech of National Security if they attempt to shine light on these events.

[marty60]

The national security thing might be the reason, but, sometimes Republicans that have been in D.C. to long, get into the whole "public can't take it" mindset. If there is good sound reasoning and evidence that the Thing through total incompetence or malevolent political reasons stood by and did nothing when we were being attacked, the PUBLIC MUST KNOW.

Frankly, I don't believe that the Thing was a serious "man". He talked people to death, and held meetings and partied. This was the mo of the 60's bunch. While most people were working, starting families, or dying in VN, they were sitiing around talking, smoking dope, and going to meetings. ___________ Fill in Commie front group name. Kerry is the exactly the same.

Have you read Jayna's book?

[philman_36]

I do believe, no, I KNOW, we've been down this road before...that picture is WTC 1 in '93. It even says '93 in the photo.
Remember now?

Whoops, you're correct- I had it for purposes of comparison with the size of the plywood-covered crater at the Murrah Building. I'll track the right one down.

Thanks for catching that.

[Little Bill]

We have argued this ad nausium on this site, to the banning of many. My own personal belief is that the 'Toon covered this, as he covered a lot of things, by blaming it on some imaginary conspiracy.

The truth is that neither 'Toon nor the federal agencies had the nads to think of outside agents, he mght have had to do something.

[gwjack]

I am in the process of reading Jayna Davis' book. I'll let you know when completed.

I bought it for my son's birthday - July. I may have to break down and read it first.
