If this claim pans out--a big if--it would be significant for two reasons. First, prosecutors have yet to establish that Atta and Moussaoui were "in the same place at the same time." Second, the Weekly says that Oklahoma City bombers Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols "reportedly stayed at the same motel, interacting with a group of Iraqis during the weeks before the bombing" in 1995.

OKSub have you seen this?

Employees and guests at a motel near downtown Oklahoma City reported seeing McVeigh with several Middle Eastern men in the months before the bombing. One of those men was identified from KFOR's surveillance photos of Samara Properties as possibly being Al-Hussaini. The others were identified as fellow employees of Al-Hussaini.

McVeigh reportedly stayed at the motel, under the name of Bob Kling, an alias he had used before, according to the FBI. The witnesses said they had often seen several of the men moving large barrels around in the back of an old white truck that frequently broke down on the lot. The barrels smelled of diesel, they said, an ingredient in the bomb that destroyed the federal building. According to an FBI report, an Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agent confiscated the motel's registration records and logs.

A man using the name Bob Kling rented the Ryder truck from Elliot's Body Shop

...the owner of a motel near Oklahoma City claims honcho hijacker Mohamed Atta showed up at his establishment last August in the company of another hijacker and Zacarias Moussaoui.

1. Did the owner know the names of these people at the time they came to his motel? If so, how? Or did he only remember, after 9/11, meeting the terrorists back in August and now he's really, really sure it was them awrighty, yessiree?
2. Was this "ten minute" conversation the first, last, and only time that this motel owner came into contact with these people?
3. Does this motel owner often get into conversations like this with people who he is telling he has no rooms for?
4. Why does some minor tabloid, the LA Weekly, come up with this story, and nobody else does?

I think that this story may be legit, but I need a lot more information. I have very little confidence in the FBI at this point, given their heavy-handed coverup attempts with regard to the Terry Nichols / Philippine terrorists connection, and their "McVeigh and Nichols done it all by themselves - case closed" demeanor in the OKC bombing.

In a local Christian newspaper there was an article about Arlene Blanchard talking about her experience with her faith after the OKC bombing. I thought the name sounded familiar from FR posts on the bombing, so I went online and did a search and sure enough, she is one of the interesting people involved in the bombing. Take a look at this from the New American:

"Arlene Blanchard also suspects a hidden agenda. She was a sergeant in the Army recruiting office of the Murrah Building when the bomb went off. Interviewed briefly for ABC’s Nightline program two days later, she mentioned that the suspect depicted in the sketches of John Doe No. 2 looked "very familiar" and that her colleague, Sgt. Marilyn Travis, had seen and conversed with Timothy McVeigh inside the building. The next day she was called in by the battalion commander and, in spite of her serious injuries, subjected to a hostile grilling by the commander and agents of the FBI, ATF and Army CID. Moreover, she says, she was given a direct order not to speak to any members of the press and threatened with court-martial if she mentioned the sightings of McVeigh or John Doe 2 again. Sgt. Travis and other recruiting office personnel were likewise ordered by the commander not to speak to the press, or even to the official investigators, about information that may be material to the case. It is only since her recent retirement from the military that Mrs. Blanchard has been able to speak up. Says her husband, Stan Blanchard, a former member of the Army Special Forces: "Having been involved in covert operations, I am well aware of the need for secrecy, at times, in the interests of national security, but the treatment of my wife and others and the suppression of important evidence in this case has been outrageous."

She has a website and I am going to e-mail her. She has an interesting story.

I'll send it in the morning email... it will greatly help that a major "name" like the WSJ has mentioned this.

But I say again:

All you lurkers and surfers and people who only believe what you see on TV-- you have not gotten the whole story, on this or many other stories.

You literally don't know what you have not been told- so how would you know what you have missed?

Time to wake up and smell:

The fact that the Wall Street Journal has decided to run with this story now truly is a mystery. But just who will pick up and run the story next and just which freeper will post it, now that is priceless.
