McVeigh's Ghost - Top Pentagon Officials Say Iraq Involved in OKC Bombing
US News & World Report/ Fox & Friends ^ | October 23, 2001 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 10/23/2001 12:17:44 PM PDT by OKCSubmariner

Some dismiss it as being akin to Elvis sightings, but a few top Defense officials think Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh was an Iraqi agent. The theory stems from a never-before-reported allegation that McVeigh had allegedly collected Iraqi telephone numbers. Why haven't we heard this before about the case of the executed McVeigh? Conspiracy theorists in the Pentagon think it's part of a coverup.

The above news item can be found at :

http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/011029/whispers/29whisplead.htm

The news item is an excerpt from the US News & World Report column "Washington Whispers" dated 10/29/01 written by the editor PAUL BEDARD. The news excerpt is under the paragraph heading "McVeigh's ghost" in the column whose title is "Pentagon slows Clinton's bid for women in combat".

I spoke directly today by phone with Paul Bedard and he gave me permission to write that the top official at the Pentagon who is making the allegations about McVeigh connections to Iraq is the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Mr. Wolfowitz, the number two man at the Pentagon under the Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Mr. Bedard also broke his information today at 6:20 am EST on the show "Fox and Friends".

Note that the news item refers to a coverup of the Iraqi connection to McVeigh and the OKC bombing suspected by Pentagon officials. The coverup referred to is a coverup by the FBI, DOJ, and Reno and Freeh.

Bedard's information is consistent with evidence uncovered that had McVeigh meeting with an Iraqi recruiter in Las Vegas a few months before the OKC bombing along with a suspected Hamas cell member from OKC. McVeigh was seen with the employee of the Hamas cell member, an Iraqi, Al Hussain Hussaini in OKC before and on the morning of the OKC bombing. Hussaini was seen speeding away in front of the Murrah building with another ME man in a late model brown Chevy truck, the subject of an FBI all points bulletin.

Hussaini served in Sadam Hussein's Republican Guard prior to the Gulf War and was brought to the US by Clinton along with around 4000 Iraqis after the gulf War. Some were relocated in OKC at two churches in OKC. This information was provided by me to KFORTV (Brad Edwards) in OKC in May 1995 when they were investigating Hussaini's role.

Former legal counsel for the impeachment proceedings and prominent DOJ attorney, David Schippers has said several times on Alex Jones and other radio broadcasts that Hussaini was a baggage handler at Boston's Logan airport at the time of the WTC attacks on 9/11/2001. Schippers expressed concern that the FBI should look into whether or not Hussaini could have helped breach security at the airport to help the hijacker pilots get on board or to plant box cutter knives.

Also it is believed Terry Nichols met with Bin Laden operatives of the Abu Sayef terror organization in the Phillipines months before the OKC bombing. Bin Laden and Sadam Hussein have worked closely with each other on terror projects for years. Wolfowitz and Admiral Woolsey (former CIA and FBI director) think Sadam Hussain and Bin Laden also worked together on the Pentagon and WTC attacks on 9/11/2001.

Vincent Cannistraro, former head of the CIA's ME counter terror operations, told the FBI in April 1995 that the OKC bombing was a Sadam Hussein operation where Sadam Hussein had paid seven Pakistanis to assist in the operation. Canistraro's source was the head of Saudi intelligence and the FBI interview with Cannistraro is described in McVeigh defense attorney Stephen Jones' book and David Hoffman's book. Three Pakistani men were arrested in OKC and Dallas in connection to the OKC bombing and then released. One of them Asad Sidiqy was a suspect in the first WTC bombing backed by Sadam Hussein in 1993. The FBI and Reno covered up the FBI 302 interview reports and arrests of these three Pakistanis.

U.S. News is a highly credible source, however this allegation is breathtaking (not that most people ever thought of McVeigh as anything but a patsy for something bigger than himself, anyway).

Conspiracy theorists in the Pentagon think it's part of a coverup.

But they're CONSPIRACY THEORISTS, right? Therefore we should just laugh and ridicule them!! It doesn't matter that they work in the F---KING PENTAGON, for the love of pete, even the PENTAGON can have conspiracy theorists too! Oh, no, I think we should really just pinch our noses and swallow whatever story Reno's JD put out, and ignore the obvious idiocy of the Reno FBI. They would never lie to us...

I lived on OKC on that fateful day. I remember the OKC Police stating to be on the lookout for a white male accompanied by a middle-eastern man. I can remember an APB going oit on the scanner. Several people saw them together right before the bombing.

Evidence of Iraqi involvement would have meant that x42 would have had to take action and be a commander, which is something he is not. And it would have meant he would have had to curtial his obsession with Hollywood, sluts and money grubbing...all things he cannot live without.

This IS breathtaking. Chandra Levy was reportedly working on the McVeigh execution. This just adds another curious element.

This is no time to suggest torture.

This is the time to send Terry Nichols to Turkey for a little chat.

Agreed.

But in light of the last 8 years, the events of Sept 11 and the continious stream of info about how many suspected terrorist, INS watch listees, et al have wandered into this country with the full blessing of our government.

This, somehow does not suprise me.

I believe this was leaked to pressure the doves in the administration to change their minds.

The coverup referred to is a coverup by the FBI, DOJ, and Reno and Freeh.

The FBI and Reno covered up the FBI 302 interview reports and arrests of these three Pakistanis.

The most important unanswered question is WHY
