Smoking Gun?
What an interesting day to break this story--the seventh anniversary of the OKC bombing.
If it's to be believed, the Clinton Administration and FBI covered up evidence that Terry Nichols met with Iraqi agents prior to the bombing.
Why? We may never know for sure, but I would presume that it was more politically useful for Mr. Clinton, in the midst of his post-1994-loss-of-Congress irrelevancy, to demonize the American "right wing," in the form of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and to not distract people from that with Middle East connections that would then have to be actually dealt with...

Well, let's wait and see on this. Speculation, like nature, abhors a vacuum.

This is old news. Not saying Nichols/McVeigh didn't do it, but there were a lot of things that were ignored. Like, if you were a prosecutor, would you ignore evidence that the defendants had ties to neo-nazi organizations?
My own suspicion is that this was intended to be a sting operation, and they got the timing wrong.
