This is the first I have read about follow-ups to General Partin's report, which was posted on the net and should be familiar to most who have followed this coverup.
General Partin offered to testify at the trial, but the compliant judge who first presided ignored his offer. There's no question that he is a veteran expert witness, and that his report is persuasive to anyone who takes the trouble to read it. It was physically impossible for the fertilizer bomb to bring down the Murrah Building--by several orders of magnitude. There must have been at least three explosive devices strapped to the pillars in the basement.

Yes, there were many folks who spoke out and wrote in support of Ben Partin's analysis. (I suppose that I am one of those "physical chemists" that were mentioned above.)
Ben and I have communicated many times on this issue, and his analysis is, to me, compelling. You will find statements of many of those experts in support of Partin's analysis in the OKBIC's Final Report on the Bombing of the Afred P.Murrah Federal Building, April 19, 1995.
In that same (500+ page) volume, you will also find my analysis (pp 191 - 256) of the bomb and the building collapse.
The main (nine-story) MFB structure was slab-on grade; there was no basement beneath the main building.
One of my conclusions was that ' IF supplemental high VOD 'cutting charges' (as suggested by Partin, et al) were used, they (three of them) were placed at or near the third floor level, at the junctures of the three main (exterior) columns and the 3' X 5' X 200' "main header/transfer beam" that spanned the width of the building at the third floor level. And, if present, the supplemental charges were detonated several seconds in advance of the truck bomb explosion.
The government must release all (22 at least) of those surveillance videotapes!

The jury is still out whether he has publically spoken on this because he knows it's going to come out anyway or whether he needs to be in on it in the beginning so he can grab on and help suffocate it.
Former FBI Deputy Director Weldon Kennedy told the Philadelphia Inquirer that talk of withheld videotapes is "ludicrous and insulting." Kennedy says that agents nailed down "98 to 99 percent" of McVeigh and Nichols' movements in the months before the bombing and he is absolutely convinced they acted alone.
Cate McCauley, who worked on McVeigh's appeal, goes beyond Kennedy and charges that talk of Middle Eastern men helping McVeigh is "perhaps the worse case of misinformation and pandering" she has come across. The allegations, she says, are easily refutable and those who promote them are "standing on the graves of thousands of people."
Clearly Weldon Kennedy and Cate McCauley are putting themselves on the line to keep it down. This is a problem because there are IMO gov't people who would help the truth to come out but who really don't want to shoot down "colleagues". A certain general protectionism can set in even among those whose hands are not dirty.
As far as "standing on the graves of thousands of people" goes, I'd rather stand on those graves to expose the filth that put those good people in graves to start with. The people who protect the perps are pissing on those graves IMO.
Please note that both Kennedy's and McCauley's statements offer NO facts, NO evidence to counter the need for investigation. They also fail to address the FACTS that have been exposed on this forum and others. Come on, Catey--if the allegations are easily refutable, why didn't you refute them?
They offer only insults, personal opinions without any supporting facts, and emotional intimidation to stall an investigation. If there's nothing there, an investigation couldn't hurt anything or anybody. What are they afraid of?
If the truth of this were known, we wouldn't need a U.N. resolution; we've already been attacked by Iraq.
As long as I live, I will never forget watching this live on my TV and watching the officials, news camera crews and citizens running away from the scene yelling that more bombs were found. It just sticks in your mind!!!
The other thing I can't forget is driving through Perry OK and remembering how lonely that freeway was. To think that the supposed terrorist who just committed the worst act in America up to that time, would let "Barney Fife" take him alone and alive when he had a 9mm Glock on him... is abjectly absurd on it's face.
Remembering how happily conservatives were growing in strength and how desperate Clinton, Clinton & Gore along with liberal government officials (in general) were getting at the open contempt for their arrogant ways in those days... It's just too much to conveniently drop from one's mind... EVER!!!
They stopped a constitutional revolution of, for and by the people, with this. As the church lady used to say... "Isn't that conveeeeeeeenient?"
Thanks for all you've done and all you continue to do.
Two words Elhoim City . You know the one where the FBI CI , the late Reverand Millar, kept a compound for would be plotters and agent provocateurs of nefarious anti-government direct action "
You and I certainly 'see eye-to-eye' on this one! Right on!
