Justice Department won't let (FBI) agent testify (in Nichol's state trial)

While Terry Nichols, already convicted on federal charges in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, returned to court Monday to face the state's case against him, the government was squirming to squelch evidence that Nichols and Timothy McVeigh did not act by themselves.

Thank you for the heads up to the article and your views! I'm praying for your mother-in-law! She sounds like quite a lady!!!

How do you know there is a cover up?

Because I can read. Did you not read the article? "Vogel could not testify for Nichols' regarding the affidavits because the Justice Department doesn't want the former FBI agent to be heard." Again: The Justice Department doesn't want the former FBI agent to be heard. It's pretty straightforward.

--thanks for the comments! As to the media, we have the INTERNET! it's taking over, people are becoming not just consumers of the news, but reporting it, commenting on it-and making it! Because we can share, instantly, we can bypass the controlled press, or at least get to look at so many angles, that it becomes "more" real than in the past. Just like this thread, and okc submariners work, and so many others work, we all can be 'the media" now. And yes, that's really our best chance right now.

He may have security issues that relate to the entire country that can't be let out in court. Like I stated, Nichol's can appeal.

Uh-huh. And Clinton covered this up for 6 years because he's just a swell guy looking out for the good of the country. Oh, that's right, I almost forgot...when Clinton did it, it was bad; but when Bush continues it, it's okay. National security. Got it.

The reason that Republicans sometimes cover for Democrats and Denocrats sometimes cover for Republicans is not complicated, and you nailed it:

"If all that you know and have effectively reported concerning OKC was revealed to the public at large, confidence in our government by the masses would be irrevocably shaken. The result would negatively effect the existing power structure and our economy."

Those currently and recently in power, both Republican and Democrat, have been successful because the rules of the game -- and the essential illusions of the electorate -- favor them. If either the rules or the illusions change, they might lose their grip. The whole truth about any one of a number of longstanding converups -- living American POWs abandoned in enemy hands, CIA drug running, Inslaw-Promis, BCCI, Waco, Vince Foster, Ron Brown, WTC I, OKC bombing, TWA800 -- would certainly change the illusions, and no one in the power structure of either party is going to let that happen.

We need to get a grip on our government, like yesterday. It's totally out of control!

Please share YOUR ideas on how to accomplish the above...
