Like nearly everyone else in the country, I have half-followed the McVeigh story since the beginning. Last week, I went to a search engine to try to find a current picture of the Federal Building, being curious as to whether they were able to rebuild it. I seem to have missed the news about them having torn it down and placed a monument where it used to be. Several interesting links that came up during this search, however, made me question everything that I hadn't missed in the news, most importantly how in the world a single truck bomb could have caused so much damage. The answer from the experts is: it couldn't have.

Based on the links below, I now have serious doubts as to whether McVeigh was involved at all. I rarely visit the Mudcat and have no interest in conspiracy theories, but based on the vindictive tone of most of the posts above, I thought it proper to point out that there are still very many unanswered questions regarding this case, and in my mind it is not clear that McVeigh is to blame entirely, if at all.

Much more exist.

I don't intend to revisit this thread any time soon, and in any event with the imminent execution of McVeigh, these issues will surely be buried forever. I simply ask you to consider that there is much left unanswered here, and putting McVeigh to death is One Sure Way to keep it so.

Think and wonder.
