McVeigh and Nichols were guilty. It is a shame that we did not learn more about their connections with other terrorist groups.I agree with you on both points: they did it and others were involved.
What I don't understand is why neither of them tried to avert the death penalty by screaming loudly "I'll tell you who put me up to this if you let me live!" at their trial.
The fact that NEITHER of them did it, is evidence, in my mind, of lack of a strong connection to "others".
And I say that believing that there was SOME kind of connection.
But then why wouldn't they sing to save their skins? They weren't jihadists. They weren't going to the land of 72 virgins. Why, then?
Of course, something that points strongly to a government coverup is how QUICKLY their death penalties were carried out. No other death sentences in this country ever get carried out so quickly.

It wasn’t a “THEIR” (plural) it was a him. You have theories based on the execution of more than one person. How correct is the rest of your theory when you don’t even have the simplest facts straight. Only McVeigh was put to death for the crime. McVeigh waived his right to an appeal and thus the government had no alternative but to put him to death. The government can’t force someone to appeal their verdict and in those very rare cases, the next date set for the execution must be carried out.
Because they were completely converted ideologes. - They thought that they were serving a higher purpose. They were "useful idiots."
I think that McVeigh and Nichols were played as “useful idiots” by at least one of our enemies.
It would not be that hard to find disgruntled Americans, and then offer some help in bomb training and the like. Your “useful idiots” might not ever even realize that they are being used.
