Hope this isn't a duplicate. I did a search, but didn't see anything up on it yet. You can see the transcript of questions asked to Nichols and his responses at the link to article.

Oklahoma County District Attorney Wes Lane said ... the public finally gets a glimpse of my frustration with Terry Nichols, and his refusal to tell us where certain bomb-making materials are still hidden, even to this day... ''

Boo-hoo for you! Maybe if you "pretty-pleased' him? He's got life without parole - what possible incentive could you give him to make him want to talk to YOU anymore?

If he's still protecting the blasting caps, why would we
assume he's not still protecting John Doe #2?

"...the public finally gets a glimpse of my frustration with Terry Nichols, and his refusal to tell us where certain bomb-making materials are still hidden, even to this day..."

Call me a cynic, but the only possible reason he would not reveal "where certain bomb-making materials are still hidden, even to this day" is that there aren't any.

The purpose of a plea bargain is to close the books on a case with a notch in the prosecutor's belt.

The purpose of a plea bargain is NOT to find the truth.

My guess would be that Mr. Nichols signed whatever papers were put in front of him by the prosecutor, regardless of their veracity, just to get the death penalty off the table.

Nichols was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of release in both cases.
He avoided the death penalty because jurors could not agree on that punishment.


As a long-time Okie, all I can say is that VERY GOOD defense lawyering (and/or
"Judge Itoh" adiminstration) must have saved Terry Nichols bacon.

Incredible that Nichols didn't get a quick return of a death penalty...
or been offed by a fellow inmate yet.

What about those trips to the Phillipines, Terry?

I have a question: How many other Federal prisoners have been executed since Tim McVey was?

Answer:

Since 1963 only three people have been executed by the federal government of the United States:

Louis Jones on March 18, 2003 for rape and murder of Pvt. Tracie McBride

Juan Raul Garza on June 19, 2001 for murdering three persons in conjunction with a drug-smuggling ring

Timothy McVeigh on June 11, 2001 for the Oklahoma City bombing


Source link: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/List%20of%20individuals%20executed%20by%20the%20United%20States

Why was there such a rush to execute McVey?

[Just asking.....]

Between 1950 and 1963, 13 people were executed (not counting those executed under military law)

From 1963 until Tim McVey in June 2001, zero were executed.

Nichols made the admission last year as part of an effort to persuade state prosecutors to drop their request for a death sentence. The negotiations fell through because prosecutors thought he was not forthcoming enough.

It's generally accepted that prisoners threatened to the death sentence may be willing to stretch the truth or to lie outright in order to strike a plea bargain. So saying that he "knew of" no other conspirator doesn't necessarily mean very much.

I can't imagine why he would hesitate to say where the blasting caps were buried if he knew. So maybe he didn't know. But it is easily conceivable that he might withhold evidence to protect a co-conspirator. And it's also conceivable that the prosecutor refused to entertain the idea that there were other conspirators, under pressure from the FBI and political authorities.

In other words, this bogus press release of a statement that was never signed or agreed to doesn't mean very much when weighed against a great deal of evidence that there were a number of other participants in the bombing.

Dont kill him, send him to Gitmo and find out what he was doing in the Phillipines with potential Al Qaeda associates.

This smells. Why would Terry confess to some but not all of it? C-BS detector hits maximum scale!

I don't have the brightest pixels here but if federal and state employees would stop attacking the idea that others may have been involved (despite what a fine upstanding man like Terry Nichols says) just maybe they could find those blasting caps and more -- I think it's the more that they are worried about.

They could check the status of the OKC survivors v. Iraq filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia two years ago. Is it still on going? I don't know.

They could ask former CIA Director James Woolsey, what he meant when he said, "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." "The Iraq Connection," Wall Street Journal, September 5, 2002

Or how about this, in his discussions about his Vanity Fair interview with a top Pentagon official Sam Tanenhaus suggested that Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz believes there just may be a Saddam connection to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

Yes, IMO it's the more that they are worried about and I don't mean Michael.

P.S. What ever happend to Sen. Spector's promise to Jayna Davis to do something?

"Terry Nichols confessed during secret plea negotiations . . . ."

I guess secret just doesn't mean what it used to mean.

There were middle east implications to this tragedy. I see he never mentioned any.

David Schipper wrote extensively about the ME connection.

Did the Chicago PD get to interrogate him yet ?

That could explain it.

If we pursued the clues of 9/11 into SA as intensely as we have for Oklahoma City, we could find the royals who funded it.

Anybody in DC who suggests this will get blackballed though.

So where did the info about bomb number two and three go? The news on that day reported explosives experts had diffused and removed #2 and were moving into position to work on #3. So where are they and who planted them - Nichols???

Ruby Ridge and Waco had been put to rest. A few Americans endured years of personal attacks, ridicule, and even physical threats and just kept on truckin' until some (most?) truth was released to the public.

Those were the good old days of simple government deadly shenanigans.

Now just maybe there's been purposeful criminal doings, sedition, and treason. What if rather than blame Rush Limbaugh the Clinton Administration had actually investigated "the rest of the story?" At least investigated to the max the 1993 WTC attack instead of treating it as a simple but horrific criminal matter. How far will the establishment of both Parties go to save the ruling class' butt?

We would have been led to knowledge of this new kind of war and 9/11 would have been left to Hollywood to invent to show us the kind of enemy we faced.

What's going to convince me otherwise? A lot more than silly "tin foil" hat comments. If that's all you got forget it.

BTW, I just heard David Gold say that Jayna Davis will be on his show this afternoon (1300 to 1600, Sunday 28 Nov on AM560 KSFO, San Francisco). Mr. Gold is a Freeper and mentions the site often. I don't know the exact time Ms Davis will be interviewed.

I recall to hear that Terry Nichols went to the Philippines and had contact with Abu Sayyaf and Ramzi Yousef. I believe the OKC Bombing was a broad conspiracy.
