It certainly doesn’t help that they’ve kept security tapes secret.
A couple years back I caught a single paragraph in our local fishwrap that the FBI admitted to storing “practice” missiles in the building. The story explained that they were unarmed but the propellant was explosive.
Did it show the arab looking fella leaving the area? Oh yea there was only timothy mcveigh.. My bad I forgot!
Any sign of the “six swarthy men of Middle Eastern extraction in running suits fleeing the scene...” that ABC News reported on that morning?
You can thank Jamie Gorelick for that.
The FBI and the Clinton Administration covered this attack up quickly. They did not want anyone to know anything about this attack. The question is what was so different about this particular attack? Why were we attacked? There is much more to the story than has ever been released, and the videos they’ve released are useless.
I wonder what kind of chaos the folks at the sight of the waco attack 2 years prior felt after they were unlawfully attacked?
Lets not forget the OKC bombing was the direct result of the governments aggression and not an isolated event by a couple (or more) people, unconnected to other events.
So what are they talki9ng about? One interpretation: Someone has taken charge and is giving instructions to others as to what to do. Just as good an interpretation as "chaos."
So what! What am I missing?
Benton K. Partin Brigadier Gen. USAF (Ret.) 8908 Captains Row Alexandria, Virginia 22308 703-780-7652 July 30, 1995 Sen. Trent Lott United States Senate 487 Senate Russell Office Building Washington, DC 205102403
Dear Sen. Lott:
The attached report contains conclusive proof that the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, was not caused solely by the truck bomb. Evidence shows that the massive destruction was primarily the result of four demolition charges placed at critical structural points at the third floor level.
Weapons Experience: I do not offer such an analytical conclusion lightly. I have spent 25 years in research, design, development, test and management of weapons development. This included: handson work at the Ballistic Research Laboratories; Commander of the Air Force Armament Technology Laboratory, and ultimately management responsibility for almost every nonnuclear weapon device in the Air Force (at the Air Force System command, Air Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) levels). I was also the first chairman of the OSD joint service Air Munitions Requirements and Development Committee. (A more detailed resume appears at Tab 1.)
Observations in Oklahoma City: To verify earlier analysis, I visited Oklahoma City during the last week of June. There I had the opportunity to view hundreds of photographs taken throughout the cleanup operation as the layers of debris were cleared away. The photos present irrefutable evidence that at least four demolition charges were set off at four critical columns of the reinforced concrete structure at the floor level of the third floor.
Conclusion: Based on my experience in weapons development and bomb damage analysis, and on my review of all evidence available, I can say, with a high level of confidence, that the damage pattern on the reinforced concrete superstructure could not possibly have been attained from the single truck bomb. The total incompatibility of this pattern of destruction with a single truck bomb lies in the simple, incontrovertible fact that some of the columns collapsed that should not have collapsed if the damage were caused solely by a truck bomb, and, conversely, some of the columns were left standing that should have collapsed if the damage had been caused solely by the truck bomb.
It is my hope and request that, as a Member of Congress, you will support a Congressional investigation to determine the true initiators of this bombing, which could not have occurred the way in which it has been portrayed as having happened. Further, it is requested that you defer action and reserve judgment on socalled antiterrorism legislation that has serious civil liberties implications, and which would not be passed except for the Oklahoma City bombing until the causes of the Oklahoma City disaster are determined by independent investigators.
Both the Federal Building in Oklahoma and the Trade Center in New York (See New York Times, October 28, 1993, p. A1) show evidence of a counterterrorism sting gone wrong.
No government law enforcement agency should be permitted to demolish, smash and bury evidence of a counterterrorism sting operation, sabotage or terrorist attack without a thorough examination by an independent, technically competent agency.
If an aircraft crashed because of a bomb, or a counterterrorism sting or an FAA Controller error, the FAA would not be permitted to gather and bury the evidence. The National Transportation Safety Board would have been called in to conduct an investigation and where possible every piece of debris would have been collected and arrayed to determine cause of failure.
To remove all ambiguity with respect to the use of supplementary demolition charges, the FBI should be required to release the high quality surveillance color TV camera tape of the Murrah building bombing on April 19, 1995.
It is my observation that the effort required to bomb the A. P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City pales in comparison with the effort to cover up evidence in Oklahoma and the media's withholding of vital information from the American people.
Sincerely yours,
Benton K. Partin Brigadier Gen. USAF (Ret.)
Jayna Davis has had the story nailed for years. A few years ago, Dave Schippers became a big advocate of hers. He got depos from about 14 of her witnesses. Yes, folks, there was an Iraqi connection to OKC.
ping for later
Suicide DURING an interrogation???? The cops WATCHED a suicide of their prisoner????
...
Some say it was a failed FBI sting...
