LOL!!! Great picture! Somehow I don't see McVeigh and Nichols buddying up with diaper heads, but then Mr. Gamma Ray may have a point.

re:Tin foil hat alert...

How droll... the pic is mildly amusing, too...

However, your response, whatever emotional gratification it may have afforded you, has absolutely nothing to do with the facts and the reality of the terrorist threats facing this country from Islamofascist fanatics. The context of your initial dismissive comment that McVeigh and Nichols weren't Muslim demonstrated your basic lack of knowledge of how the tentacles of that threat extend much deeper into our homeland and further back in time than has been officially acknowledged.

I simply offered a source cite for information, along with an explicit recommendation to check it out and an implicit assumption that you would evaluate the evidence and arguments presented and form your own conclusions. That approach would require a certain amount of work on your part, however, and you apparently don't consider it worthwhile. That's perfectly alright - you're free to choose between being informed and being uninformed.

As for me and my family, I believe the threat from Islamic terrorists is sufficiently grave that I owe it to myself and to those for whom I am responsible to learn as much as possible about it, to investigate all informational leads and clues, and to leave no stone unturned in the search for the knowledge and the tools to combat it. Obviously, not every avenue of investigation will pan out, but to pre-judge and dismiss something out of hand without properly investigating it could prove disastrous.

I wish you well, and hope that you and your family will remain safe through the days yet to come.

"When the full stories of these two incidents (1993 WTC Center bombing and 1995 Oklahoma City bombing) are finally told, those who permitted the investigations to stop short will owe big explanations to these two brave women (Middle East expert Laurie Mylroie and journalist Jayna Davis). And the nation will owe them a debt of gratitude." - Former CIA Director James Woolsey, Wall Street Journal, September 5, 2002
