After the 1995 blast, Oklahoma City­based television reporter Jayna Davis spoke numerous times with task-force executive director Yossef Bodansky. He eventually gave her a memo in which he'd summarized intelligence reports detailing the operations of the terror camps. In the memo, constructed from his intelligence reports, Bodansky wrote that Iranian intelligence had ordered Hamas to develop cadres from among Palestinian youth living in the U.S.

The official government position is that Middle Eastern groups had no involvement in the 1995 bombing carried out by Timothy McVeigh, and that conclusion may stand the test of time. The FBI, however, never fully investigated leads suggesting a different verdict, according to law-enforcement and government sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.

the KC & chicago training camps were associated with hamas. wasn't this the same core group residing in OKC?

Bush could call up Mueller today and release this info. He won't. Wonder why?

The operatives, Bodansky stated, were then assigned to locations throughout the U.S. He also alleged that so-called "Lilly whites" were subsequently trained at the same Chicago camps in 1993. These were people, whose backgrounds he stated, would not make them suspect. These individuals were given weapons training as well as the latest instruction in bomb-making techniques. Two individuals from Oklahoma City, he added, attended this camp. Bodansky did not name these men.

kinda reinforces the "lilly white" scenario in OKC?

would david shippers be privvy to this info?

Jayna Davis was just interviewed about an hour ago on the Michael Smerconish show in Philadelphia (WPHT 1210). She talked about the Hamas camps in Chicago and Kansas City and also talked about Salah and Wright. A caller just raised the story of McVeigh having Iraqi phone numbers. Sen. Arlen Specter is coming up.

special agent Robert Wright has accused the agency of shutting down his 1998 criminal probe into alleged terrorist-training camps in Chicago and Kansas City...

One of these days, I hope to see somebody, anybody, actually held accountable for the 8 years of Klintonista treason that occured wrt the security of this country. Its only a dream I have...

This is not a new story. The LA Weekly apparantly just picked up on it.

Scandal Inside the FBI: Did G-Men Miss the Boat on 9-11?
Wes Vernon

Thursday, March 14, 2002

WASHINGTON – NewsMax.com has learned that active FBI Special Agent Robert Wright Jr. is about to blow the whistle on his superiors for hindering investigations that might have prevented the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.
Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm, scheduled, then postponed, a press conference for Wednesday where Wright, cloaked in anonymity until now, was going to tell the entire story.

The shocking details should be out in a few days.

Wright complains that when he tried to continue and pursue certain terrorist investigations, he met with retaliation from his bosses and from the Justice Department, which made it clear that it wanted the probes to go no further.

Prior to putting off the news conference, Judicial Watch said that "based on the evidence, the FBI special agent believes that if certain investigations had been allowed to run their course, Osama bin Laden’s network might have been prevented from committing the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks which resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 innocents."

Insiders believe that after this full story breaks, Wright’s career will be toast. Only public outrage can save him.

Meanwhile, Judicial Watch, which is representing Wright, is requesting a full independent investigation.

Assisting the law firm in this case is none other than David Schippers – the same Schippers whose quiet, methodical and damning leadership in the Clinton investigation led to the then-president’s impeachment.

"Wright, who is attached to the Chicago Field Office of the FBI, held a Washington news conference sponsored by Judicial Watch -- a private, conservative watch dog group -- at which he read from and released a copy of a lawsuit he has launched against the FBI, and an exchange of letters about a book he is seeking to publish. He declined to answer questions."

[end snip]

Remember this guy. Not that he doesn't have some valid info, but he's the guy who was writing the book and they wouldn't let him publish it they claimed because of an ongoing investigation.

Remember him, the guy that started crying at the Washington Press Conference?

He may well have valid information, but a lot of people that commented on this story back in March were fairly skeptical about a guy that seemed to have as his top priority publishing a book. The FBI wouldn't give it the green light so he hired Larry Klayman and filed a lawsuit and started holding press conferences.

[alrea]

TO DATE, THE FBI AND DEPARTMENT OF Justice have seemingly exerted more effort in shutting down these leads than pursuing them...

We must be careful about all the stuff we covered up in the 90's.

[Mitchell]

This reminds me of the Egyptian who fled the U.S.A. yesterday, just hours before he was to be arrested in a raid. Who tipped him off? Have terrorists (or foreign agents working on their behalf) infiltrated the FBI? That would explain a lot.

[ladyinred]

The more we learn, the worse this gets!
Fasciating reading.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

You know the scarey part is the black helicopter crowd keeps getting one more vindication every day. This story was on Glenn Beck and he was all over it on his radio show which sent a chill up my spine this morning and again reading it tonight. It would fit the Klintoon profile to bury this because he's a coward and would have lost the re-election if he went to war against a Middle Eastern country to remain nameless (Iraq) if it is true they assisted in the OKC bombing.

Sigh.

This is amazing. I was just reading chapter 5 in Steven Emerson's book "American Jihad" last night. It is entitled "Hamas - The Original Infiltrator" and discusses most of what I'm reading in this thread. Emerson's book is a must for anyone who is hazy about the threat to America from Islamists.

Coming soon ... to a neighborhood near you.

Here's a happy thought from Middle East expert Daniel Pipes:

Islamists constitute a small but significant minority of Muslims, perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the population. Many of them are peaceable in apearance, but they all must be considered potential killers.

How does 400,000 to 800,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?
