McVeigh an Iraqi Agent? So sayeth Faux News... Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Jesus Christ.... these tossers will believe anything. I urge people to use the email address at the bottom to inform Mr Gibson that he is a "****tard".

Was Iraq Behind the Oklahoma City Bombing?
Tuesday, April 19, 2005
By John Gibson


On Tuesday's show you heard FOX News' Rita Cosby talking about the quite shocking claims made by a group of victims' families that Iraq was at the bottom of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City.

This has come up before: A reporter named Jayna Davis has a book out about it.

The whole thing stinks of Iraq. Ramzi Yousef (search), an Iraqi agent that was involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and his associates were allegedly talking to Terry Nichols (search) in 1994 about how to build a fertilizer bomb.

So now the question: So if there is all this evidence, why has the U.S. government ignored it?

Well, for one thing, I submit George W. Bush didn't ignore it after September 11, 2001. He realized then that Iraq was behind a lot of the attacks on the U.S. and it was time for it to stop.

But before September 11th, he did ignore it and so did the Clinton administration. The lawyer who is suing told Rita he didn't think the previous administration was willing to go to war over the Murrah Building bombing.

OK. But why keep it secret now?

The answer is Tim McVeigh (search) and the U.S. government were each doing their part to hide the real players. Government prosecutors said there was no "John Doe No. 2" even though dozens of people saw him. McVeigh insisted all the way to the grave that he acted alone, when everybody including his lawyer knew he was lying.

If McVeigh were just the grunt β€” mixing the chemicals, driving the truck, setting the timer, and running off β€” guilty though he might be, if the bombing was a plot by a foreign government, his lawyer would have had a chance at the sentencing hearing to argue that others were more responsible and McVeigh should not be executed.

The fear that the McVeigh execution might have been an error β€” and a mistaken execution β€” could put the federal death penalty itself in jeopardy. The fear of losing the federal death penalty could explain why the U.S. government does not appear to be anxious to act on evidence it has that Iraq may have been involved in the Oklahoma City bombing.

That's My Word.

I'm reminded about a survey taken during the run up to the invasion of Iraq which showed a direct connection between how much Fox News a person watched and the more misconceptions they had about Iraq. The more Fox News people watched the less in touch withreality they became. Fox News watchers believed Saddam was behind 9/11, that the UN knew about WMD in Iraq but where somehow hiding it from America, that the international community supported invading Iraq and a million other false hoods. Why watch a show that makes you less informed?

I call shenanigans on the Great Depression allegations and the Pearl Harbor stuff.

Because Fox News isn't on? Seems like the same people who watch Fox would be a dead ringer for the National Enquirer. Come to think of it they probably also love AM radio with all of its "aliens abducted me and probed me ass" stories.
