"A defense examination of phone records found that Nichols had repeatedly called the Cebu boarding house in the weeks preceding the bombing. Some of the calls were billed to a prepaid phone card to which McVeigh also had access. The calls were often made from pay phones at truck stops and the like, and sometimes followed mysterious patterns. In one instance, for example, the same number was dialed nine times in nine minutes before someone answered and spoke for 14 minutes."

Wouldn't it seem to you that there is enough information in this one paragraph to cause law enforcement/intelligence antennae to quiver with regard to a probable connection with the bombing and the possibility of accomplices.

Yet, for some reason, even though they had the information, the FBI evidently never followed up on it.

Incompetence? Or a political red light?

Which was it? There simply isn't any other answer...

"Former CIA Director James Woolsey, for example, recently told the Journal that "when the full stories of these two incidents are finally told, those who permitted the investigations to stop short will owe big explanations to these two brave women. And the nation will owe them a debt of gratitude."

An administrtion that would kill innocent children (Waco) would not, and did not in my opinion, hesitate to impede and cover up the investigation of an incident that revived a moribund presidency. It had to appear that domestic "right-wing-kooks" were responsible, and it worked. For the remainder of the Clinton Presidency it was "the vast right wing conspiracy"that was blamed for his every shortcoming. As a ranking member of "The vast-right-wing-Conspiracy",and one for whom the phrase was invented, I can assure you that we were neither vast, or a conspiracy. Even right-wing could be up for grabs in my particular case. Conservative, for sure.
