Is it just a marriage of convenience, and did McVeigh go along just to learn the technical aspects from the towelheads, or, is there some deeper reason for collaboration?

McVeigh was a 'closet' Iraqi sympathizer.

It has not been widely publicized, but the (female) former executive director of the OKBIC established a rapport and correspondence link with McVeigh in prison. She shared with me at least one of his letters in which McVeigh justified his killing of children in OKC as 'no worse than the US's evil bombing and starvation (via sanctions) of Iraqi children'.

FWIW, she described McV as "a horny kid who welcomed the opportunity to correspond with a not-unattractive young woman." (my paraphrase...)

Maybe it's time to offer Nichols a plea bargain. If he tells all about the mid-east/OK connection and links it to Saddam, he can get out of jail and be deported to Iraq.

The biggest question I have with regard to the conspiracy theories on OK City is the tendency of terrorist organizations to brag of their accomplishments. I haven't heard of one group that takes credit for the bombing, yet with something so "successful," one would think the group responsible would step forward.

How does staying quiet further their terroristic cause?

Staying quiet furthers their cause because it allows the liberals to continue to blame conservatives for the bombing. If Islamic terrorists are proven to have been involved in the bombing and Clinton is proven to have deliberately concealed evidence of this fact, the liberals will lose more trust in the eyes of all but the die-hard, kneepads Clintonists. If liberals lose power and influence, then America becomes a stronger nation. Keeping America weak by protecting their liberal buddies furthers the terrorist cause.

Come on, Dan. Get these bastards who covered it up. OKC was used by Sinkmaster to save his presidency and put the focus on so-called "right wing" nuts. All the loonies on the left had to side with him and would stick with him no matter what. He counted on that. He had to divide the nation to survive politically.

What kind of disloyal American would talk about this stuff in public. Someone might get the idea that the FBI is incompetent and we can't have that leaking out.

I would venture to say that OKCSubmariner and his associates can share in the recognition for keeping this issue alive.

Iraqi Refugees In the aftermath of the Gulf War, 37,768 Iraqi refugees fled to Saudi Arabia and were housed in two camps, Rafha, for families, and Artewiyah, for single men.

The original group of refugees included roughly 10,000 Shi'ite rebel fighters who rose in rebellion against Saddam Hussein and another 4,000 or so former soldiers who defected, deserted, or were captured during Operation Desert Storm, and who refused to repatriate at the end of the war based on a fear of persecution if returned

By the end of 1996, 19,797 refugees had been resettled in third countries. The United States had resettled about half of the total, admitting 10,046 between June 1991 and the end of 1996

Iraqi Military Officers in OKC and Lincoln,NE

"As made known to the CIA, were the following, among other details: That George Herbert Walker Bush, as President, at the close of the Persian Gulf War, 1991, arranged to bring into the U.S. some four thousand Iraqi military officers, some from intelligence units, and their families. Some 550 of these officers became residents in Lincoln, Nebraska, AND TWO THOUSAND OF THEM took up residence in Oklahoma City. In a watered down story, CBS' "60 Minutes" Program did a segment once on this about Lincoln, Nebraska but said NOTHING about the Iraqi military officers in Oklahoma City.

The financial and other provisions for them and their families were arranged by the Elder Bush, and then quietly continued by Bill Clinton as President, and perpetuated by George W. Bush as White House "resident" and "occupant". The arrangements included financial subsidies, housing, and employment for the Iraqi officers.

It is true. I know two of them. They are Chaldeans not Muslim but who knows. Their entire families came with them.

[I thought at the time that it seemed strange the way they shifted their reporting so quickly.

That's like the live realtime coverage of Ron Brown's demise.

First it was CNN's "airplane down in the ocean, military spotters there, debris in the water, the worst storm in 25 years" by a noticably unsettled talking head.

There was great deal of specificity to the initial reports, which mutated to "hit a mountain" after about 60 minutes.

They did keep the "worst storm in 25 years" story, which of course has been proven to be patently untrue.

If OKC turns out to be the easiest-to-prove casus belli against Iraq, this may get public airing after all.

I don't see any way they could do it after Ashcroft publically buried it. He was complicit in the coverup, and he didn't make that decision on his own. The die was cast then. Nothing of any significance will come out of Burton's committee.
