This story recounts the Carol Howe story. I remember Penthouse Magazine was the only media that would touch her story. Towards the end of the article it mentions how she was prosecucted on unrelated charges but they failed to prove her guilt. Had something to do with possesion of explosives by her "boyfriend". I think I heard the arsenal was a little more powerful than firecrackers but I could be wrong on that point.

the article does not mention how she was maliciously steamrolled in an effort to shut her up. I also remember a few years back an episode of "Michael Hayes" (a series about a US attorney played by David Caruso) where the Carol Howe story was protrayed almost to the tee. I think that and another episode likewise detailing the Ron Brown death led to its early cancelation.

Had something to do with possesion of explosives by her "boyfriend".

My recollection of the bomb prosecution is as follows:

Carol Howe, working for the Government, reported that there was bomb making going on at E-City and smuggled out a sample to give her story credibility. Her boyfriend apparently helped her. After the OKC bombing, Ms. Howe started to talk openly about her written reports describing E-City plans to blow up the OKC Fed Building. These reports were submitted prior to the bombing itself and would show government foreknowledge of a plot. The Feds really reacted to this. They prosecuted her and her boyfriend for posession of the same bombmaking materials that she had previously provided to the Government. I think the boyfriend was convicted but Howe was acquited.

If you want to dig into OKC I recommend reading everything you can about Carol Howe and the German Andreas Strassmeir. Ambrose Evans Pritchard nailed Strassmeir on his OKC envolvement. I believe he was a government agent working at E-City and was wisked out of the country within days of the bombing. A dead ringer for John Doe #2. Carol Howe has stated, I believe, that he discussed the bombing with her prior the event.
