WASHINGTON – Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., is calling for a congressional investigation of the Oklahoma City bombing because of evidence of a foreign connection and a conspiracy broader than Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. In a memo written to Rep. Henry Hyde, chairman of the House International Relations Committee, Rohrabacher said he has spent 12 months personally investigating the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building that killed 168 and concluded "there is ample evidence to justify an investigative hearing into this historic crime." The focus of the probe, he suggests, should be "Was there a foreign connection to the Oklahoma City bombing?"
"The official position today, defended by the FBI and Justice Department, is that the OKC bombing, which left 168 persons dead, was planned and executed solely by two disgruntled veterans, Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, with the limited involvement of Michael Fortier," writes Rohrabacher. "After my inquiry I have concluded that others were involved and that information about the bombing is being kept from the public and from the Congress. The jurisdiction of my Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations extends only to the possible international and foreign involvement in the crime. Even within that framework there is ample evidence to justify an investigative hearing."
Rohrabacher worked closely in his personal investigation with Jayna Davis, author of the WND Book, "The Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing." The congressman said there are two major targets of inquiry which indicate a foreign connection to the OKC bombing:
"First, Terry Nichols and, to some degree, Timothy McVeigh appear to have had contact with Arab, Muslim, or Middle Eastern terrorist elements prior to and during the implementation of the bomb plot," he wrote. "Second, just as significant, there is evidence of a personal relationship between Timothy McVeigh and Andreas Carl Strassmeier, a German national who was promoting violent insurrection to white supremacists at their nearby stronghold called Elohim City."
Rohrabacher concludes in his memo to Hyde: "(I)t is highly likely that the Arab connection and or the Strassmeier connection played a significant role in the planning and execution of the murderous bombing of the OKC federal building. In both possible scenarios, the official investigation fell short and further investigation has been discouraged ever since."
He suggested a one-day or two-day hearing and suggested subpoenas be issued to former FBI Director Louis Freeh and former Attorney General Janet Reno. "The bombing of the OKC federal building was the greatest slaughter of innocent Americans until 9/11," Rohrabacher writes. "It is possible there was an al-Qaida connection. It is possible there was a Strassmeier connection. There is ample reason to disbelieve the official version of this horrific crime. It is up to us to begin setting the record straight."

sheesh investigate Waco too.

One of the countless negative consequences of big government. There is less incentive to protect us and more incentive to cover the governments negligence.
Had what happened in OKC been revealed, Clinton would have been forced to deal with the problem, and we could have avoided 9-11.
Yep, that's why the feds had to get rid of McVeigh in such a hurray. Dead men tell no tales.
Another good read is "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton", by Ambrose Evans Pritchard. There is an entire section about the OKC bombing, Srassmeir connection, etc. And this was written in the '90's.
The author (British jounalist) di a personal investigation.
Another great read is "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton", written long before Jayna Davis' stuff began to surface. The author is a British jounalist who conductedn his own investigation and was onto Strasmeir, Elohim City, etc.
You are very perceptive there montag813.
Don't trust the f.b.i., they lie.
Steve, stop shovelling!
You're in way over your head already.
Exactly. I wish Rohrabacher luck. I'm sure the Clintons got Janet Reno to conduct shredding parties so that the truth can never be truly known.
Well, dah, it took you all long enough.
OMG, I've never seen the side by side comparison of the two! The composite drawing is a dead ringer for Padilla.
Hey, come to think of it, Hawaii wasn't even a state in 1941! We should have stayed out of WWII and let the Honolulu Police Department handle everything, right?
Sheeesh!
I do not think this is the kind of investigation that passes the Rockefeller memo smell test. So we shall see what we the people actually get told by the wheeler dealers that tax and spend us into submission.
I wouldn't trust a congressional committee to handle a trip to the bathroom without screwing it up, I'm going to trust them on something like this?
I couldn't disagree with you more. It's electing traitorous crooks like Clinton and covering up all of his scandalous behavior that has left a stink that will not go away. If Bush has proof of wrongdoing and a congressman wants to investigate, this is his golden opportunity to make sure evidence gets in all the right hands. It's time for the truth to be aired.
...so your saying the constitution prevents the Whole of American to rise up in response to attacks from abroad?
