Iraq responsible for the Oklahoma City Bombing (Warning: FOXNEWS)

By John Gibson

<snip>
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.

1. I thought it was al-Qaeda

That's what FOX was saying right after 9-11-01.

4. Is he suggesting that the feds executed an innocent man?

I thought that pro-death penalty types like Gibson said that never happened...

3. Co-opting a tragedy for their own crass political purposes

That's the Republican Way, I guess

7. Yea, seen it before

The real conspiracy around the Murrah building bombing was that there were far more 'militia' people involved than just McVeigh and Nichols.

No reason to think they were 'Al Queda' other than the right's relentless propaganda, though.

9. I agree. Same for NYC...

No reason to suspect it was Al Q, except for the admin's relentless push to tell us it was.

The whole OKC thing was waaaaaayyyy to stinky. When was the last time ANYONE was put to death so fast in this country? More like a silencing than a sentence.

10. Fox didn't go after the judge and jury? Or the officials in charge of

the execution (make that execution on request)?

11. So if there is all this evidence ...

Exactly what evidence is Gibson talking about? The only "evidence" I found in the article is:

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.

Yousef and his associates were "allegedly" talking to Nichols? What's the evidence behind that allegations? Yousef was an Iraqi agent? Where's the evidence for that?

I'm sorry, but only an idiot could take this "news" seriously.
