That was my first tip-off. Why all the rush?
Look, I don’t like what he did at all, and I think he should have paid by being locked in prison for his whole life.
I too thought it was important whether he had an Islamic connection, which at that time would not have rung alarm bells like it would now.
By killing him, we allowed others to get off. I don’t like that at all!
McV supposedly drew a sketch (of which I have a copy) showing that he & Nichols stood the three empty blue-painted steel VP Racing fuels Nitromethane drums against the inside back door of the Ryder's cargo box. The ANFO/ANNM explosive was mixed (and detonated) in blue plastic drums. There were fragments of blue plastic all over that part of OKC -- including atop roofs.
The rear axle of the Ryder truck was found about a block back up the street -- atop the hood of a small car. But the FBI never reported finding any trace of the three empty blue-painted steel Nitromethane drums.
...just one of many fast-&-loose FBI evidence [mis-]handling anomalies that McV could have shone the light of truth on...
BUT -- does the FBI want to be placed in the light of truth?
