Was Tim McVeigh an agent of Iraq?
Top Defense officials think so, reports U.S. News
© 2001 WorldNetDaily.com
A few top Defense officials believe Timothy McVeigh, executed for his role in the bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, was an Iraqi agent, reports U.S. News in the Oct. 29 issue.
The stunning news item is buried in the "Washington Whispers" column of the magazine under the byline of Paul Bedard.
"Some dismiss it as being akin to Elvis sightings, but a few top Defense officials think Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh was an Iraqi agent," Bedard writes. "The theory stems from a never-before-reported allegation that McVeigh had allegedly collected Iraqi telephone numbers. Why haven't we heard this before about the case of the executed McVeigh? Conspiracy theorists in the Pentagon think it's part of a cover-up."
Those unnamed Defense Department officials are not alone.
Last week, House impeachment counsel David Schippers told WorldNetDaily Radio host Geoff Metcalf's audience that he is convinced of a Mideast connection in the bombing. Schippers represents Jayna Davis, the former Oklahoma City television reporter who attempted to follow up the Mideast connection story until her bosses told her to let it go.
"I am thoroughly convinced that there was a dead-bang Middle Eastern connection in the Oklahoma City bombing," said Schippers. "I think bin Laden was behind it. I think that there were Middle Eastern people on the scene running away."
There would not necessarily be a contradiction between an Iraqi connection and a bin Laden connection. According to terror expert Yossef Bodansky, author of "Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America," bin Laden worked closely with Iraq for years.
McVeigh's Ghost - Top Pentagon Officials Say Iraq Involved in OKC Bombing
There's word that Chandra Levy was doing some work regarding McVeigh's execution when she vanished.
I don't know if the real truth is out yet but it does raise some interesting scenarios. The "rightwingnut" label that was placed on all of us after the OKC bombing was effectively the death of the Republican Congress and the rebirth of Clinton. I have never been a "tin foiler" but given the recent events, I am about ready to believe anything.
I have heard that too, but have not seen any real clues into that story. But THIS one is made all the more believeable by the credibility of the people who are advancing it. This tip came from Pentagon sources. They know something. They want it examined and can't push it themselves. There is a bad wind here. Clinton/Reno/Freeh on THIS case, and the subsequent oddities and omissions in the actual investigation...to the stunning similarity between John Doe Number 2 and Mohammad Atta.
Is that your opinion, or have others made the link?
---------------
No.
Yes, others have made the link. Talk radio is abounding with people talking about the likeness between Atta and the composite sketch of John Doe #2.
I couldn't agree with you more. The resemblance to Khobar Towers is eery, but remember who was *president* then. bhill and hbill. That is why the investigation stopped with McVeigh. We weren't supposed to wake up. Not through the entire 8 years they sold this country and our Services out!
Remember that Atta was wanted by Israel back in 96, fled to the US and the US refused to extradite because Atta was an American national. He'd been here before, you can bet your bottom dollar on that.
Speculation is called a stunning news item now?
What word was this??? Levy's job ended before she vanished. McVeigh was dead and cremated before she vanished. Her job, according to news reports, was in the public info sector of the Bureau of Prisons, mostly handling news clippings about the prisons and sending out BOP press releases, nothing with sensitive information.
