I generally regarded the Oklahoma City bombing and McVeigh to be an independent event.

With this article attempting to link Cooper with McVeigh as Cooper's most notable achievement now lends more credance to Cooper's bizarre conspiracy theories. Why would any pressman not report on Cooper's mother of all conspiracy theories relating US government ties to an underworld and extensive writings which sprang birth to the X-Files as much as Gene Rodenberry gave life to Star Trek? Instead their linkage is that McVeigh read Cooper's writings?

With Gene Rodenberry's demise, will his obituary read that the Unabomber and Timothy McVeigh watched his TV shows and read some of his stories?

Gene Roddenberry's been dead for several years. Of course, there were only glowing tributes to a man who pushed the alien agenda so devotedly.

Also, in earlier reports of Cooper's demise, it was reported that he believed in aliens. Obviously, the writers hadn't read his book.
