There are many John Doe’s involved. The side view of John Doe #2 seems to be a different person from the frontal view. Many of us believe that the side view was actually taken off the security camera. There are many in the law enforcement community that saw that video and know of its existence. It is an exact match for an individual who also was identified by someone that saw him minutes before the blast getting out of the passenger side of the Ryder truck. Other witnesses also identified him as being with McVeigh. The name of this person is known to law enforcement. If he was questioned by the FBI, which he claims he was, he was obviously let go. The person identified by witnesses in the Oklahoma City bombing was interviewed by a local station in profile and he is a perfect match for the side profile sketch of John Doe #2.
One of the people involved in the WTC ’93 bombing was picked up by the FBI on day two and questioned, questioned again on day three. He told them everything about the plot, where the bomb was built, who was involved including himself. He was not held, and on day four, he flew to Iraq. There is now a reward of $25 million on his head. So there was at least one other time where our government allowed a Middle Easterner involved in a terrorist act to go free.
The former head of the FBI, Bob Ricks, told our local CBS affiliate last night that John Doe #2 was Todd Bunting. There is some indication that there was confusion when the frontal sketch was drawn. The individuals where McVeigh rented the Ryder truck may have given a description of Bunting. Bob Ricks is trying to convince everyone that this means that there was no John Doe #2. Let me say again, there are many John Doe’s.
The local FBI office was quoted last night on the same report as saying that they checked into Middle Eastern involvement in the bombing and there was not any. It is disappointing, but not surprising, that even with all that has gone on with terrorism in the last 9 months that the FBI is still putting out misinformation.
We are having our liberties encroached upon in order to fight terrorism. We are being asked to believe that the bungling of the FBI and the lack of coordination between the agencies allowed 9-11 to happen. For many years, these terrorists have realized law enforcement would probably not investigate them or arrest them. They knew that they were untouchable. Atta told the government loan officer, Johnell Bryant, all about Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. They visited for hours according to the interview with Brian Ross on ABC News. I think he knew that even if Ms. Bryant told someone about what he said that our government would not do anything about it.
Is it bungling and lack of coordination that caused 9-11 or was it government policy during the Clinton years and carried over into the Bush administration by these Clinton holdovers that led to all these leads being filed away and not acted upon?
