I'm aware of that...it's just a whole lot of people aren't...they didn't put out a lot of effort to find those "unnamed others" either, did they?Don't confuse "not holding a press conference every day" with "not a whole lot of effort."
Also, methinks that McVeigh deliberately arranged to get himself arrested early (his behavior went well beyond "peculiar" and into "arrest me, flatfoot!"), in order to allow others to escape.
I've heard one guy say that ol' Timmy might have had GWS.
Poohbah, you have touched on something I have gradually come to believe about McVeigh, which is that he committed a form of "suicide by cop." There are aspects of his actions on the day of and subsequent to the bombing that are evocative of a suicide bomber. I think you may have hit very close to the truth.
