>>Yes, I believe that is the agenda. Reser is a nut. But he is not connected with Jayna Davis and her groundbreaking investigation.<<

Yes he is. From today's Dallas Morning News...

Ms. Davis said she helped fund her work with a $57,000 donation from the same Chicago-area real estate magnate who gave large donations to other conspiracy theorists and causes before his death in August.

Ms. Davis acknowledged that she used some of Mr. Magnus' donation to pay Mr. Reser to work as an investigator late last year. She said she then asked Mr. Reser in January to write the three-page affidavit in which he praised her work and detailed his claims about seeing a dramatic videotape proving Middle Eastern involvement.

Didn't rely on it

Ms. Davis said Tuesday that she was concerned by the allegation that Mr. Reser had lied, but she added that she had no idea until she was told by congressional investigators that they were having difficulty verifying many of his claims.

"I don't think it reflects upon this investigation, my research," she said, adding that she was involved with Mr. Reser only briefly and relied little on his work.

But others who embrace her belief that the Iraqi government was somehow involved in the 1995 attack say they fear that it could harm efforts to prove their case.

"It's unfortunate because it's going to diminish the value of the good work she did, and it's going to hurt our side of the question as to whether or not there was more to the Oklahoma City bombing," said Mike Johnston, a lawyer who filed a wrongful death lawsuit in March against the government of Iraq on behalf of a survivors' group.

Mr. Johnston said his concerns about Mr. Reser led him to warn Ms. Davis last fall that the officer was lying about some aspects of his background and couldn't be trusted. But he said Ms. Davis responded by telling him in writing that he was fired from her effort to develop a lawsuit against Iraq, a letter that was among materials on Mr. Reser sent to the Justice Department.

"She took the position that he had better contacts than me, he had better information, and he was in a better position to talk with people in the government," Mr. Johnston said. "It's just unfortunate that she was so gullible."

I guess I stand corrected? It was my understanding that she had some contact with him, but that she began distancing herself from him some time ago. But her investigation stands on its own without Reser. In fact, what I have seen of her investigation does not come from Reser at all.
