Ten years later, Fox News isn't letting the Oklahoma City story die.

The government's story continues to not hold water. For example, check out this strawman:

Editor's Note: Watch the FOX News Channel on Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT for "The Oklahoma City Bombing: Unanswered Questions." And check out FOXNews.com on Monday for a story showing how FBI agents are convinced they got the right men.

No one is claiming that they didn't get "the right men." The point isn't about whether or not McVeigh and Nichols did it, though the defenders of the government action would have us believe that that's the issue in contention. Everyone agrees that they did (as far as I know). The question is whether or not there were others involved, who remain free. And more seriously, if there were foreign governments involved that the Clinton administration would have found politically inconvenient to finger, particular since, if it restricted its investigation to "angry white guys" it could pin it on those evil right-wing Republicans.

As the article points out, the official story remains quite fishy, and there was a disturbing amount of evidence destroyed. And does this make any sense?

Oklahoma City attorney Michael Johnston said the FBI was not given all the tapes from as many as twenty-five cameras that he says were in and around the Murrah Building.

“If they're really non-consequential, it wouldn't hurt anything. If indeed they show something I think the American public, after a decade, has the right to know,” he said.

Johnston, on behalf of twenty-five victims’ families, filed a Freedom of Information (FOI) request for all of the surveillance videos. FOX News also filed a FOI request. The FBI has denied both cases on account that the case is still open.

"We can’t expect to get that footage until after that case is closed and then I think you will," said FBI agent Jon Hersley.

If they "got the right men," why is the case still open? Is he referring to Nichols' state trial? Even with that, if it's evidence in that case, why can't it be released to the public?

speaking of videotape

Remember Waco? During the first raid by ATF agents on February 28th, 1993, multiple ATF video cameras were taping the events of the day. Later the ATF claimed that the cameras mysteriously failed and the tapes were blank.

David T. Hardy in his various FOIA lawsuits investigating the Feds actions at Waco got the Government to admit that those ATF videotapes existed after all. But the Feds then played a keep away game by claiming ATF was no longer in possession of the tapes, and that the Justice Department had them. According to FOIA procedure, for Hardy to go after the tapes would then require a seperate lawsuit against the Justice Department.

Now, under Homeland Security re-organization, ATF and the FBI are both part of the Department of Justice. It seems to me the time is ripe for another FOIA lawsuit to pry those ATF tapes away and into the light of open public inquiry. I for one am very interested to see what evidence may be on those tapes the ATF from the start claimed did not exist.

I have never believed the governments story about OK. City.

Did you ever try to get a parking space in front of any federal building in any downtown at 9:00 A.M on any morning?

Well McVeigh got enough spaces to park a Ryder Truck. That would be 2 or maybe 3 spaces. Who was sitting in them BEFORE he got there? Likely 2 or 3 people were holding them. Where did they go? Who were they? Why doesn't the Federal Government see this? Or do they?

Why were they SO quick to kill McVeigh, most people lanquish for years on death row, not McVeigh. I believe he did the bombing, but neither he nor Nichols seems sharp enough to plan and pull this off alone.

To me, the question is whether they got everybody. Whatever happened to John Doe #2? And there's the purported Al-Qaeda links, which seems to be supported by telephone calls made by Nichols to a Philippines boarding house linked to Ramzi Yousef.

Although I agree that the phone records should be thoroughly pursued, I think there is a more reasonable explanation for the withholding of the video tapes. As with any large explosion vast amounts of the buildings contents and occupants were ejected from the structure during the explosion. I would not wish the exposure of that type of video on any family member who suffered a loss in that terrible act of treason.
