Report: Nichols Admits Okla. Bombing Role
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Terry Nichols admitted during plea negotiations in his state trial last year that he played a major role in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Nichols admitted to prosecutors in a signed statement that he helped Timothy McVeigh make the bomb that killed 168 people in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in 1995, The Oklahoman reported. McVeigh was put to death for masterminding the attack.

"McVeigh told me what to do," Nichols said in the statement, which was prepared with the aid of his attorneys.

snip..........

According to the statement, Nichols knew of no other conspirators in the attack and said he did not know which building McVeigh had chosen as a target until reading about it after the bombing.

2. I believe people had questions about how many people were involved.
I highly doubt that the words of a convicted terrorist in search of a lighter sentence will solve any of that speculation though.

Vatican City. What with freedom being on the march and whatnot.

8. I guess inane responses are one way to get your post numbers up
but wouldn't it be easier just to goto the DUlounge and just post your ramblings as they pop into your head?

4. With this new account
do you think that any media member will get access to Mr. Nichols now? This just made him an accomplice with little knowledge of the event...

Thus IMO less dangerous and subject to visitors...

I bet we never hear a peep out of him, the gag order will stand...too much to hide here.

6. I live in Michigan
I work in a Ford factory(actually its Vistion now, but I'm a ford worker leased to vistion). A lot of people I work with come from the 'Michigan Militia' area. Of course none of them belong to MM!!! None of them believe that Nichols had any thing to do with what Tim Mc Veigh was supposed to have done. Of course Dekkerville is right in the middle of MM territory. Thats the place where the step-dad tied up a 3 year old to her bed for 7 years. And the neighbors knew.

9. Have some respect
They're Baptists out there. Jesus told the stepdad personally to tie the devil child up.

10. I Remember James Nichols Coming To The Radio Station
where I worked and being received as some sort of VIP. It was disgusting, one of the guys came and asked if I wanted to meet Nichols? Like I want to shake hands with the brother of a man who is a mass murderer, while he is going around making money off this tragedy saying his brother had nothing to do with bombing. Yick!


"They have failed to prove anything. They have investigated people, but not the bombing, because all they want to do is prosecute people, not find out the truth."
