Could it be possible that Timothy McVeigh was innocent? Did the FBI and CIA do a 'cover up'? Why should anyone focus on such questions at this time?
Answer: The US is likely to have an enemy within. .....(okay, so you know all about that - but it (ie this possible incident of corruption) still needs to be examined...don't you think??)
Yoshie said: "One of the talking points (for a quickie conversation) is, "When the bombers of the Federal Building in Oklahoma turned out to be white guys, you didn't think it was a good idea to bomb all their families, friends, neighbors, ex-class mates, all who had the same reactionary thoughts as theirs, all who had the misfortune of having ever lived in the same country as theirs, all who had the same complexion, religion, etc. as theirs...did you?"
It would pay for lbo-ers (and others) to read the complete contents of the Writ of Mandamus (where Tim McVeigh's defence asks for CIA and FBI records). It's on the Net.

This document outlines that several witnesses directly contradict the evidence against McVeigh and that the CIA and FBI clearly had hard evidence linking the Oklahoma bombing to middle eastern political activists.
Maybe I've missed something here????. But why would these two American agencies hold back information for so long when someone in America is facing capital punishment and his defence relies on the evidence that these agencies hold?? It makes no sense, unless they had something to hide in the first instance.
