Curses, one less post and I would have been the one to point out the silliness of not one but *two* completely irrelevant Terry Schaivo references. Are we supposed to reckon time itself by her death now?
Yes, all time will now be stated as either ADTS or BTS.
The author, Jack Cashill, was trying to tell the reader that the FBI timed their little trip to Herington, Kansas to coincide with the Schiavo death, hoping they could hide behind the news cycle her death would create. Apparently, it didn't work or this article wouldn't have been written. I would say it didn't work either because it took too long ("through the night & into the next day") to pack up all that bomb-making material, or someone gave the MSM a tip on the story. Or maybe both.
Also, notice this paragraph:
Dresch went to Herington the following day and found the house to be vacant and for sale. His well-connected contact had not followed through, however, on retrieving the material and giving Scarpa credit where due. Only later did the contact claim that his people were surveilling the site waiting for someone to retrieve the material. It would take nearly three more weeks, the day of Schiavo's death, for the FBI to go in.
Dresch's "well-connected contact" was probably told to keep his mouth shut -- that the FBI would handle it. Then the FBI waited until the Schiavo matter reached its crescendo before they moved in.
This is big. Just ask Valerie Caproni.
(Owen, I don't know who to ping about OKC stuff anymore, but I would bet there are some oldtimers out there who would really be interested in this. Maybe you have some names?)
The FBI did not have the appropriate translators during the initial hours after OKC. They had to borrow 10 Arabic translators from the Pentagon.
Immediately after the bombing on a Wednesday, the FBI requested the translators be sent to OKC. By Friday, the FBI had changed its mind (and story), and sent a message to the military that the translators were no longer needed. By Friday, "John Doe #2" was the culprit.
I may have a few of the details wrong, such as when the translators were sent back. And I don't have time right now to reread my post from 2002, but here it is if someone is interested:

The info about those 10 Arabic translators is in red at reply 41.
(sigh). Some things never change.
If people would lay off the Bush-bashing, we would stand a heck of a better chance of getting people interested in pursuing this. By posting that kind of pot shot at Dubya, you cut the potential reading audience for this article (and any subsequent articles on OKC) at least by half. I'm sure that's not what you want, is it?
Submariner, is that you? :-)
It's a very complex story. I thought Cashill did a pretty good job explaining it, although I did have to read it twice to soak it all in.
Valerie Caproni must be chewing her fingernails to the quick right about now.
World Net Daily has reached tabloid status.
Exactly,....who is/was this Georgia Rucker person?
Much appreciate the 'ping'!!!
I keep the OKC/911 ping list, but it's specifically for the connection between the two and the related coverups.
Seems OKCSubmariner is banned or suspended. Diogenesis might know who to ping...?
Yeah. And don't forget their OTHER diversionary tactic.....'announcing' something on a Friday, so that the sheeple had the weekend to be too busy to pay attention!
LOL.
Hey backhoe, any way you can go through your lists regarding the OKC bombing? See if you can get a ping list?

OK-

Let me check later ( family shoo em out the door time ) when I have more time. As I recall, the Wall Street Journal was hitting this subject pretty hard a couple of summers ago, then went quiet suddenly.
Thanks, backhoe. I'm getting my kids ready for the bus. LOL.
read later
Ping...... interesting details......
Coool. I DID it!
Unwittingly...?
