The log describes footage showing the federal building explosion, about three minutes after "suspects" exited the Ryder truck used in the blast. But she says there's no evidence that the tape exists.

Why isn't the log evidence that the tape exists?

[ladyinred]

This is odd, I recall at the time there was all this news about a video that had recorded the bombing. It was being described often. I think if was from a security camera across the street on another building.

She said the reports in it may have been based on speculation - and that the Secret Service doesn't vouch for its reliability.

Well, then, who maintained the log? And who reported the tape's existence and witnesses' testimony to them?

Surely, the Secret Service logkeeper wasn't simply recording flights of fancy...

[Squantos]

fyi

Well, let's see now...

The tape doesn't exist because it got hauled away during the demolition phase of the Murrah Bldg. Yeah, I'm sure we can sell this excuse to the sheeple... jamie and hill

Or how about... The tape is useless. It was discovered shredded into tiny pieces in the bottom of Charles Ruff's briefcase. It was depressed and felt the only thing to do was self-destruct.

Oh, enough. Save for my time in the service, I've lived in Oklahoma all of my life, and I can tell you such tinfoil-hat speculations as you've hinted at in this post don't wash here.
Never truly knew how the long-time citizens of Dallas felt about the endless "grassy-knoll" nonsense regarding JFK until I started running into the shadowy mutterings about the so-called hidden "co-conspirators" regarding the OKC bombing on the internet.
There's nothing here, folks--move along now. There simply isn't any grand "conspiracy" hidden from public view beyond those already brought to justice, i.e., McVeigh, Fortier, and Nichols. Plain, simple, period.

So this log entry was just the work of a frustrated fiction author, who, lacking anything else to do, wrote a very short story in the log book. Right. Sure.

hasn't ANYONE on the Free Republic ever watched "Rules of Engagement" with Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L Jackson??

Interesting from an old (2002) article:

Is the Regency Tower's videotape the only record of scenes from the morning of the bombing? The judge who presided over the FOIA case says no. After looking over a confidential index of the surveillance videotapes in federal custody, U.S. District Judge Wayne Alley ruled: "The FBI's list of responsive material from its Oklahoma City Field Office includes numerous other tapes dated April 19, 1995, from several sources."


In July 2001, in the FOIA lawsuit filed by an Oklahoma journalist, the Justice Department reluctantly conceded the existence of 23 videotapes. The tapes photographed the area around the Murrah Federal Building between April 15, 1995, and 9:02 a.m. April 19, when the bomb went off.


The above quote comes from this FR post in 2002:

Doesn't exist any longer...

"But she says there's no evidence that the tape exists"

At least, not any more...........

[sharktrager]

We know for a fact there is no tape. We personally burned it.

[cyncooper]

The log describes footage showing the federal building explosion, about three minutes after "suspects" exited the Ryder truck used in the blast.

But she says there's no evidence that the tape exists.

Is not the log entry "evidence the tape exists"?

I certainly say it is. Not proof, but it is "evidence".

For an awesome interview by Jim Quinn and Rose with David Shippers and Jayna Davis go to the warroom archives and click on the April 20, 2004 show. Move the slide bar to 1 hour and 19 minutes. Its about 40 minutes long. She ties Atta and other Iraqi intel people with Ok City. I'm pretty sure she claims in this interview and her book at Atta is John Doe #2. This is a must listen.By the way, you may have to wait a minute or so for the buffer to spool.
