Sunday June 30, 2002; 12:21 a.m. EDT Report: 'Lily Whites' Recruited to Carry Out OKC Bombing A congressional task force investigating the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing had information suggesting that Islamic plotters recruited two "lily whites" - non-Middle Easterners with no connection to prior terrorist activity - to carry out the attack ultimately perpetrated by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, according to a report broadcast late Saturday. Terrorism expert Yoseff Bodansky discussed the previously secret evidence obtained by Congress during an interview with Fox News Channel's Rita Cosby. COSBY: I'm going to read some information that we obtained here at Fox News - something else you wrote that, more importantly, that the congressional task force learned: That two "lily whites" - these are people sort of considered non-Middle Easterners - had been recruited to carry out the bombing of an American federal building. BODANSKY: "Lily whites" are people that have no - nothing to do with ethnic background, that's not true. "Lily whites" is the term used for people who have no past known encounter with security authorities anywhere in the U.S. or anywhere in the world. And therefore, there's no way they will raise an alarm bell with the security authorities once they're involved in something. COSBY: So these are people who would sort of be out of the scope? BODANSKY: It can be somebody from the heart of Africa, somebody from the middle of Australia or anywhere else. (End of Excerpt) Couple Bodansky comments with a report on Judicial Watch Radio last week, where Judicial Watch co-counsel Mike Johnson detailed a very specific warning that came just hours before the OKC bombing from Washington, D.C.'s then-top terrorism expert. "Vincent Cannistraro, who is the former Chief of Counter-Terrorism for the CIA, called Special (FBI) Agent Kevin L. Foust, and informed him that one of his best sources from Saudi Arabia intelligence specifically advised him that there was a squad of people currently in the United States, very possibly Iraqi, and I'm quoting, 'who have been tasked with carrying out terrorist acts against the United States,'" said Johnson. "The Saudi informant, who's part of the Saudi Counter-Terrorism Service, told him that he had seen the list and that 'first on the list was the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.'" Johnson said other targets on the Saudi informant's list included Immigration of Naturalization Service offices in Houston and what was then the FBI's counterterrorism headquarters in Los Angeles.
The other big deal is that the F.B.I. and the Fed, knowing that this building was going to be attacked, and about what day it would be attacked, did not notify the parents of those babies in the day care center and allow them to make a decision that would have saved their lives.
None of the FBI's or ATF's kids were present that day. And most of the FBI and ATF were out of the building that morning safe and sound, one supervisor lied about being in the elevator on the way down when the bomb exploded, the elevator matinance man proved that couldn't be true, and the FBI agent finally admitted he lied about it.
It's a can of worms, the lid needs to come off of it, but I doubt it ever will.
I fail to see the implications and the advantages of not simply stating this as fact in the first place.
I mean, Big Deal..
It is a very big deal. It would mean the demise of the Federal intelligence and FBI beuracracies as we know them and, more importantly, would reveal the depth of fore knowledge by certain members of Congress who failed or were in collusion with foreign interests to allow the bombing to happen. Pressure from a variety of soruces is bringing the story out. The question remains, will the pressure be enough to shed complete light on the story?
Has everone forgotten about Michael Fortier who has TESTIFIED he was contacrted DIRECTLY by McVeigh for recruitment in the Murrah Building bombing?Yes ...
Has everyone forgotten about the theories that it was an inside job using cutter charges with ADVANCE NOTICE given to certain feds AS PROPOSED by noneother than michael rivero and ex-USAF bomb-dropper Gen Partin?
Yes ...
Has everyone forgotten about the theories that it was white supremecists/identity members recruited from Elohim City?
Yes ...
Well there be MORE hair-ball theories upcoming from a dedicated cadre of conspiracy theorists with no lives toiliing relentlessly in their basements next to stockpiles of rotting Y2K rations?
Yes ...
It allowed them to test America's defenses and gauge the reaction ...
Total crap and a MAJOR grasp for straws ...
With the attitude these people have and the anst they display they should be running the whole world in a tyrannical fashion -
- BUT they're not and instead they spend a majority of their time fighting each other from the backs of camels.
THEY AREN'T that competent ... dysfunctional, backward and myopic yes ...
It was widely reported that neonazis supported Al Quaida after 9/11.FLIES IN THE FACE OF REASON as to *why* these organizations EXIST in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!
But of course, WHEN did reason ever ENTER into the CONSPIRACY THEORIST'S WHACKY, HAIRBALL, LOONEY-BIN minds?
Are you also a believer in Carol Valentine's proposal that the JET that crashed into the Pentagon NEVER EXISTED?
That's one of her current rants - I assume you conspiracy whack-jobs are all alike and LIKEWISE buy into this hairball story too ... CONTRARY to WITNESSES and PEOPLE ON THE PLANE who made phone calls via the GTE Airfones on board those aircraft ...
I seriously think that some of you people are developmentally challenged and need help. PLEASE, do us SANE FOLK a favor and GET SOME HELP ...
