Cesar Robledo, Hinrichs’ next-door neighbor, said FBI agents questioned him about Hinrichs’ personality and habits, but didn’t ask about his religion or any materials he may have taken into the house.

What are the keywords for the list you're keeping on the Oklahoma suicide bomber?

I'll try to make sure, as I see them, that each article has the keyword so we can keep it all together.

Note to police, FBI, and other law enforcement: White people are working with the Islam enemy.

That statement jumped out at me as well. I have started reading The Oklahoman with a eye toward paragraphs to get the information out. That was strangely worded.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

This is starting to sound like McVeigh all over again and somehow I suspect that "far right extremists" would have gotten the blame again.

I think this Guy was a pathetic Suicide Bomber.

Listen, his goal was to kill Football fans... The reason I say so is because if you frequent the Gory and Snuff websites, like "The OGRISH" (sp?) and the like...

you will see that most "Crime Lab or Criminal Scene" photos, where a suicide has taken place, are of hangings or gun shots to the head or bank robbers who are at the end of the road and then kill themselves....., or of people jumping in front of trains or off buildings, or suicide by cop, ETC.

The suicides that have to do with BOMBs are of suicide bombers. You will see these pictures on those websites as well and the only part that remains is the tenacious and all durable head. The head doesn't explode. : ) I know it's wild.

I think America has seen it's first Suicide Bomber. Although I could be wrong.

Even on America's Most Wanted... there was a famous guy --- the Pizza Deliver Guy in NY State or PA, that was a Bank Robbers when someone forced him to go in with a Bomb secured around his neck. This guy said he was innocent and that the authorities should take the bomb off his neck. He didn't want to die.

The Bomb and Suicide combination is not the normal M.O.(Method).

Well that is my take and that's all folk... Have a great day.

"Intelligence reports normally are forwarded to the police department’s special operations unit, which categorizes them and decides what to do next, Easley said. The unit deals mostly with drug investigations, so the information probably would have been forwarded to counter-terrorism officials to evaluate, he said."

In other words, had he asked for grow lights with the fertilizer the police would have been all over him. These are our priorities?

“Normal protocol is for that officer to submit an intelligence report when he comes back on duty,” said Lt. Tom Easley...

Okaaaaay....

“We always say, ‘What do they do over there?’ They don’t talk to us, so we don’t know,” said Robledo, 22.

That quote is quite revealing. Their behavior was such that the next door neighbors wondered what *they* were doing, not what *he* was doing.

Easley, the Norman police spokesman, said he is skeptical police could have stopped the bombing, even if they immediately had begun investigating when the officer first called in the license number.

“Seventy-two hours on a piece of intelligence like that, I don’t know what we could have done anyway,” he said.

A highly-suspicious person walks into a feed store -- in Oklahoma, yet! -- and inquires about something he thinks is called ammonium nitrate. He cannot say how much he wants or what he wants it for. An off-duty policeman just happened to be in the store at the time, and watched this unfold -- Is that a lucky break or what?!! -- and three days isn't enough time to get anything done about it.

Apparently, this is what is meant by "Homeland Security."

That's got to be encouraging to any would-be Tim McVeighs in our midst.
