On the one side you have those who believe there were Middle Eastern terrorists involved in the OKC bombing, but the FBI and the DOJ were simply too incompetent to figure it out, even though they had all the video surveillance tapes and "missing 302's". In other words, the FBI are good guys, they are just stupid.

On the other side you have those that believe there were Middle Eastern terrorists involved in the OKC bombing and the FBI and the DOJ intentionally covered it up(i.e.government conspiracy). In other words, the FBI are bad guys, but they are very smart.(since they got away with it.)

There is a third possibility. The FBI and others knew ME terrorists were involved in the OKC bombing, but covered it up because they had been persuaded that (for whatever reason) this was the right thing to do. In my opinion, the truth is probably a mixture of the second and third possibilities.

If I take out the words "bad guys" Option two and three are the same.

So I guess the only disageement then would be can covering up the murder of 168 people ever be the right thing.

I am happy with removing the words "bad guys" and sticking with two groups who believe there was a Middle Eastern connection, group one believes the FBI knows nothing about Middle Eastern involvement and group two believes the FBI covered up Middle Eastern involvement.
