Ping - Good find nw_arizona_granny. I had not heard about the Fatwas before either.
Clinton knew.
I've no idea who's right but I think there's more to be told about this event.

"The information, though it was never linked to McVeigh"
The islamic jihadist muslim murderers were the FIRST suspects in this bombing, and McVeigh was seen, and reported , in the company of a "mideastern looking man"
What do you think Sandy "Pantload" Berger was doing? He was trying to hide the fact that Islamists were, if not behind OKC, were considering such an attack. OKC has plenty of Arabs.
"But the officials cautioned the FBI and CIA exhaustively investigated whether McVeigh could have been aided by Mideast terrorist and found no credible evidence linking him to any Islamic extremists, including those who prompted the 1995 warnings." - article
BS - Terry Nichols (Timmy's partner) went to the Philipines and met with Ramsi Yousef the first trade center bomber and al queada connected muslim terrorist. He went and learned how to make the explosive.
No credible evidence my butt.

"Iraq claimed to have information about the OK City bombing," said [Former press secretary for Illinois Senator Carol Mosely Braun, Susan] Lindauer.
"In a letter to you?" asked ABC7's Chuck Goudie.
"In a formal letter that they sent by diplomatic pouch which I then communicated to the White House," said Lindauer.
Lindauer says shortly after a mammoth fertilizer bomb tore through the Murrah Federal Building here in Oklahoma City, Iraqi intelligence agents uncovered a fundamentalist Muslim link to the bombing.
"I know they have identified specific individuals who were tied to it and the financing mechanism for Oklahoma City," said Lindauer.
In meetings at the United Nations and in Baghdad following September 11th, Lindauer says Iraqi officials told her that Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh was carrying out the orders of violent Arab radicals. Lindauer says the Iraqis actually learned of the Islamic terrorist plot against Oklahoma City years ago.
"That they previously had tried to give to the Clinton administration and had been rebuffed," said Lindauer.
"These are Iraqis who were identified?" asked Goudie.
"The Iraqi intelligence service identified them. I do not believe they are Iraqi," said Lindauer.
...
Lindauer claims she sent the Oklahoma City information in a letter to her second cousin, White House Chief Of Staff Andrew Card. When Lindauer was arrested in March on spy-related charges, she says the FBI seized the actual letter from Iraqi diplomats that laid out the Oklahoma City plot.
Goudie: Did you believe it then?
Lindauer: Yes
Goudie: Do you believe it now?
Lindauer: Yes I'm absolutely convinced. At one point we were going to invite the chief of police of Oklahoma City to Baghdad.
Lindauer, 40, was born in Oklahoma. She grew up in Alaska, graduated from Smith College and the London School Of Economics. Before politics, she worked as reporter for U.S. News, Fortune and the Seattle Post.
BTTT
There is so much more to this story than has ever been discussed in the MSM. Read Ted Gunderson's (retired SAC of the FBI Las Vegas Division) accounts of the OKC bombing and the ensuing investigation, BG Ben Partin's (former Director of the Air Force Armament Technology Center and "father" of "smart" weapons) testimony to Congress, THEN read Jayna Davis's book. ...and the USG would have us believe that Vince Foster got to Fort Marcy Park before his car!

Hmmmm...now the Left (Guardian) is reporting a possible link between the OC bombing and the Islamofascists? Maybe we're about to see somethings start to move...?
bttt
It does seem that T McVey was executed rather quickly. Maybe they thought he'd spill the beans and those beans would be too damaging to Clinton to let spill over.
Clinton knew.
"In general, the record is very clear that the Clinton administration increased counterterrorism funding and focus more than any other prior administration based on the emerging threats," [former Clinton White House press secretary Joe Lockhart] added.
Indeed. And googling proves it. Domestic terrorists were a big concern to the Clinton Administration. White supremacists, anti-abortion activists, militias, religious cults, talk radio(?) -- you name it.
Anything on the right was carefully watched. Though attacks on our embassies and troops abroad did raise concern about foreign terrorism nevertheless the Clinton DOJ worked closely with the ADL and SPLC to write the FBI's year 2000 "Project Megiddo" plan to stop homegrown terrorists.
Report: Nichols Admits Okla. Bombing Role (still shocking years later)[Nov 28, 2004]
Nichols is still alive and has not told us everything he knows. What *we* know about him is that he spent time in areas of the Philippines where Abu Sayyaf also hold sway. We also know that the architect of "Bojinka" was in the Philippines concurrently with Nichols. Well, what are we waiting for? Get Nichols to talk. Perhaps, he needs to be flown to an undisclosed location overseas, where he could be made to talk.
Dog still won't hunt. I guess if the court doesn't get to SEE the 'evidence,' I suppose it can't be admitted -- nor determined if it IS credible evidence.
I'd settle for just a quick peek at all the security videos that were spirited away.
Maybe some of Clinton's death masks were painted by his Muhammadan buddies?
