Put me on the ping list, please! I don't want to miss another installment!!

LOL!!! Ever since 9-11 and the people were arrested here in Norman and we found out about Moussaoui at the flight school, more and more info keeps coming out.

The Terry Nichols trial is what brought out the connection at the motel where Atta and Moussaoui met and had been used by McVeigh and John Doe #2 to meet some other Arabs. One has to wonder just who the others were. That I haven't seen reported.

How the Feds got by with covering up John Doe #2 is beyond me when they had eyewitness after eyewitness tell about him. Also Nichols connection to the Phillipine terrorists that happen to be part of the Al Qaeda group it looks like has not come out. But Nichols like McVeigh said he will go to his grave without revealing any information. He is probably going to get his wish. Nichols said his son would be in grave danger if he revealed anything. This man is willing to die to keep the secret just like McVeigh which speaks volumes to me!

I will state right here and now that OKC Bombing was not the sole responsibility of domestic terrorists. McVeigh and Nichols were as much a part of a foreign terrorists plot as if they were from a foreign country IMHO. Still believe the WTC first bombing and OKC are linked along with 9-11. Too many coincidences and too much cover-up.

FBI Director Meuller is still getting evidence from field agents of various agencies that were never turned over before. Believe the truth will come out eventually but would have to think this is an active investigation once again because of Berg.

Believe Jenna Davis, the reporter, is right!

"Or why Berg felt so comfortable roaming Iraq alone, but so uncomfortable with the offer of a U.S. escort out of Iraq.

If he had taken the escort, the military would have searched his bags. They did very thorough searches of mine years ago when I ETSed back to the US from Germany.

He was obviously very afraid of what they might find.

Please keep me on your ping lists - and add me to this Berg one! You're the best!

[bonfire]

I went to bed. Had been up til 4:30 the night before.

Realtor coming soon but I can't tear myself away from this story! Plus, the thread is moving too fast!

[PhiKapMom]

Have my doubts if anyone is going to say much of anything now -- not one wants a visit! :)

[bonfire]

"I started putting the info I have on here with my suspicions! :)"


LOL :)

[Miss Marple]

Was that story embargoed by the government, or by the school? That is information that would be interesting to know.

[Peach]

I'm glad to see you are onto this story, and so is the local college, even if the story has been embargoed. That tells me there is way more to this story than anything else.

[MizSterious]

I think Jayna Davis was mostly right, but I don't think anyone, including Davis, has the full picture yet. I'm still astounded that none of the victims or their families seemed at all interested in finding everyone who was involved. Nichols and McVeigh got what they deserve, but others sure as heck did not.

[PhiKapMom]

You are good -- that's twice! The roommates came here in 1991 and I keep thinking that when I want to type 2001! Another theory is that my subconscience thinks Moussoui was here then too! :)

[bonfire]

Anybody see any AP "stories" yet???

Nope. Nothin'.

[Carolinamom]

When I had my last eye exam, the doc asked me how many hours I spent on the internet. I was ashamed to tell him!

[PhiKapMom]

There are about six or seven survivor families who have been trying to find out the truth -- one grandmother in particular who lost grandchildren does not believe the story of the Feds. She has been on TV before but most are silent. Cannot understand it!

Count me in!

[proud American in Canada]

"In essence did one of Moore's adolescent approaches to "movie making" lead to the death of an American?"

Well said, and it sounds like the answer is yes.

It I hope investigations by proper authorities are underway as we speak.

This could be Michael Moore's undoing.

[Howlin]

I had not seen that! Thanks, Scott!

#337 has a lot of interesting information. Berg's foreman, Hollinger, is a Marine and keeps the tower business on his farm, even though he is just an employee. Berg and Hollinger meet in Jan. 2003 and spend several months climbing towers all over the east coast. So, who are the other employees? I just don't see how two men who keep busy climbing towers in their own region need to go looking for more work in Iraq. Most people who are experts at a technical "craft" complain that they have more work than they can get around to doing.

And Hollinger says that they discussed politics and current events a lot. And Pro-Bush Nick was always reading his Jewish and Middle Eastern texts, but was totally naive about the dangers a Jewish man travelling at night in Iraq might face.

Every single thing we are asked to believe about this man's life is not outside the realm of possibility, but when one has to stretch to believe each and every detail it starts to get a bit ridiculous.
