In order for me to entertain this idea that the OKC bombing had a mideast connection, one has to establish a connection between Nichols/McVeigh and mideast terrorists.

Actually, in a basic sense there has already been a connection between the middle east and the OKC bombing. McViegh himself stated that his motivation for his anti-US government stance was partially based on his experience fighting within the Middle East. Specifically within Kuwait and Iraq. McViegh is the connection between the OKC bombing and the middle east. Now we need to determine if the additional 'John Does' just consisted of other 'home grown' terrorist with similar views or was he assisted by other terrorist with direct connections to the middle east. IE - non-homegrown terrorists.

A "basic sense" connection to Middle East is not proof at all. So he was Gulf War vet? That establishes nothing. What I am looking for is solid evidence tying McVeigh to the mideast terrorists, just like any good investigator. As I said, if McVeigh had used the calling card to contact someone in the Phillipines when Nichols was not there, that would scream out that he was trying to contact someone.

All of this is very interesting, but I want some harder evidence.

Hey, I totall agree with the John Doe #2 statement. But there has been some confusion (or lies) by the prosecution. I remember that the drawings came out that night, but later the prosecution claimed they got it from the Uhaul rental place, not from eye witness accounts. People want to make the public believe that John Doe#2 was Terry Nichols when in fact he is not.
