There are many serious and unexplained issues in this case.

But if McVeigh was an FBI agent, would not he have come out with that rather than face execution in silence?

My own take on this is that there has been a huge coverup, and he had motives and connections that the public has no idea of.

Mostly muslim (surprise). There was a lot of ... stuff ... going on with the OKC case.  It was incredibly useful and convienient on several different fronts, from scrubbing Waco documents, to demonizing the term 'militia', and the right wing in general.

McVeigh has been described by a former army buddy as a "solder's soldier" who would march straight off a cliff if directed by his superiors.

It could have been a sting gone bad, very bad. Clinton and the FBI tried to cover it up like TWA800.

Yeah he would have come out... unless he wasn’t actually executed. Lemme see, it went fast, and *I* never saw his body, have you? /sarc off

Well one thing that always gives me pause is the fact that he was still breathing, according to a local reporter who was present for McVeigh's execution, when he was pronounced dead, coupled with the fact that they never did an autopsy ( standard procedure in executions for reasons I don't understand ) and AFAIK the body was never turned over to kin.

Not reaching any conclusions just saying that it puzzles me how a dead guy is still breathing at the end of an execution.....
