And we may or may not ever really know what that motive was. But don't let that stop anyone from forming theories. I reject that there is some motive on the part of this government to hide and cover up actual terrorist attacks. If that were the goal, we wouldn't have our president out stumping every week trying to remind a forgetful nation that terrorism is real. I think the conflict comes from those who want to see terror every time a drunk barge driver hits a canal bridge or a refinery catches fire and investigators that say "get a grip". Personally, I believe terrorism, by nature, makes itself plain.
I listened to this dad on a local radio station out of Seattle. I don't expect him to know all that was going on in the head of his kid... obviously, if he really knew the kid, we wouldn't be as surprised as he was at this outcome.
Just as a frame of reference, do you feel that there was a third terrorist in OKC or that there is credible reason to question the downing of TWA 800? I'm more willing than you, I think, to believe the possibiltiy we have a government that will mislead us when it needs to. But I don't see it everywhere. That's why I thought it would be interesting to see a study of all the potential events. I suppose it would be better to see a list of every explosion in the last fifty years that resulted in fatalities in the US. See if they have escalated since 9.11 more than they should have given population and infrastructure and business growth. There has to be an objective way to measure it.
Why don't you ask our media who are sitting on stories they cannot print because local law enforcment won't go on the record and they have to have two sources that will go on the record?
Boren is spinning and backtracking -- has been since the first night. Terrorism Task Force is now in charge; 500 lbs of explosives were blown up that rattled windows all over Norman; directional device used in the bomb(s); metal in the surrounding trees; FBI was reported on the news as being tight lipped and won't discuss this event; warrant sealed by Federal Judge and the list goes on of confirmed news not to mention everything the media has gotten off the record.
Some of you have your head so far buried in the sand, you will never see the truth. You can choose to believe the Government that lied about OKC Bombing and other events, but I refuse to cover my eyes and ears and get my information from David Boren who is seriously compromised according to a host of sources including kids on campus.
I support the Bush Administration as much as anyone but I also know this FBI in OKC is inept at best and Clintonites are still all over the Government. I want the TRUTH and we are not getting the TRUTH. If you still think the OKC Bombing came from two white guys, then you really do have blinders on. If you are a Fed, it doesn't work on me because I used to work for them and know how many things get covered up routinely that make no difference.
My mini rant!
