(Dan Burton, [R-Indiana] Investigating) Allegations that Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh is tied to Islamic terrorists.

McVeigh the story goes, met in an Oklahoma City motel with Iraqi agents before the 1995 explosion.

Part Two: Unsubstantiated reports that two 9/11 hijackers holed up with the suspected 20th hijacker Zacarais Moussaoui in the same motel room last July.

Coincedence?

Sources say Burton sent investigators to Oklahoma City to sniff around, tasked three staffers to the probe, and asked David Schippers, who led a house panel on Bill Clinton's impeachment, to advise.

But that's not all:Burton wants more staff.

While there's a lot of circumstantial evidence to investigate, like an allegation that the FBI stopped an agent from looking into the Iraqi angle, the feds say it is a waste of money.

As long we are in the majority we can pursue this to our hearts content.

David Schippers has appeared on Jim Quinn's radio show several times recently to discuss McVeigh's ties to Iraq. Here's a transcript of one of the interviews.

"Was Ashcroft briefed on this"

I recall Ashcroft saying he had reviwed all the data and McVeigh was the only person responsible.
It seemed like Ashcroft was in a rush to close the door on any further investigations.
Why the rush to have the 1st federal execution in over 30 years?
Keep in mind that to this day Ashcroft has done nothing to either klintoon or reno.
Even before 9/11 he had nearly 9 months to do something.

Could be the high level undeerlings keeping this under wraps too.. what is Ashcroft going to say if the 20th Hijacker gives up the details of the McVeigh meeting?

As Attorney General, his only recourse is to blame his underlings for not properly handing the situation, or the media will eat him alive.

[what's up]

Did Clinton know about the Oklahoma-Bin Laden angle? Is that why he was after Bin Laden in the 90's? (Albeit ineffectively).

If Clinton knew about Al Queda being involved (and hasn't it been proven that Terry Nichols worked with their cell in the Philippines?) then why didn't he tell the American public?

We all know what a coward Clinton is. Maybe he was afraid to take the Arab problem head on as Bush has done. Perhaps he thought he could solve the problem thru secret, behind-the-scenes methods which he tried and failed to employ in the 90's.

And the Government still can't figure out why Terry Nicols had some money stashed away in a Las Vegas security deposit box. (after his visit to the OBL /Iraqi cell in the Phillipines alone, meeting with OBL's right hand man )

Kind of suspicious for a humble Midwest farmer, who had a Phillipino wife and plausible denial for travel.

This is all very interesting, especially coming from the magazine that broke the first story on Saddam Hussein BEFORE he invaded Kuwait (i.e., U.S. News and World Report), but I see no reason to put any faith in this angle.

Said faith in that angle simply isn't needed.

We KNOW that Iraq and Iran have aided Arafat in his Israeli uprising.

We KNOW that Arafat's Black September organization of hijackers and terrorists had the most experience in the world at commandeering commercial jet aircraft, blowing many of those jets up.

We KNOW that Arafat was involved in suicide attacks on U.S. troops in Lebanon in 1983.

Suicide attacks against America + world-authority on hijacking = Prime Suspect for the September 11 attacks.

We KNOW that Atta met with Iraqi intelligence in Prague.

Frankly, we know terrorism when we see it, and Iraq is implicated in numerous incidents.

But that's not why we are waiting. Clearly we are building a case again Iran. Let's face it, Iraq is already implicated. It's Iran that needs more evidence for our ire.

So to me, all the stories about more evidence against Iraq are merely serving as distractions from the main game, which is to likewise convict Iran before we unlease Hell in the Middle-East.

While there's a lot of circumstantial evidence to investigate, like an allegation that the FBI stopped an agent from looking into the Iraqi angle, the feds say it is a waste of money.

Definitely, that money would be better utilized for the war on drugs, antitrust and IRS prosecutions.

[wattsmag2]

If McVeigh was in league with the terrorists of 911, then we need to investigate jis other associates far more thoroughly.

[codebreaker]

I'm still try to nail down the CIA connections to that Florida airport that Atta and company was training at.

John Leboutillier of NewsMax.com and Ether Zone is working that angle hard.

[foreshadowed at waco]

Sounds like something Reno would have done...she is a cynical and ruthless piece of garbage.

Or security at abortion clinics..

"The rush to execute McVeigh may have been another Clinton coverup

Even if Ashcroft wanted a delay, the pressure to execute was deafening!

[CDHart]

"So he shut his mouth and went to his death quietly."

That's possible. But I think it is more likely that McVeigh was told he would be put into the witness protection program in exchange for his silence.

He may have thought his execution would be staged rather than real. But of course, it wasn't, and there goes the witness.
