PD, you made the statement "How many buildings have been blown up in the last ten years by left-wing liberals"? The animal rights wackos on the left have burned and destroyed quite a few research facilities. Each side has its' wacko element.

You are quite right. I guess I forgot that because the body count from OKC kinda obscures it.

There is more and more evidence that McVeigh was working with Iraqi agents... I have always been skeptical of this, but more and more information is coming out about it. I am not big on conspiracy theories - BUT.... There is a legitimate chance that IRaq and otehr muslim terrorists were the ones behind the OK City bombings...

I draw a distinction between behind it and aiding it, and I think that distinction is extremely important. I think that suggesting Tim McVeigh acted only as an agent of the Iraqi government is a pretty radical leap based on the sketchy information I've seen. I'd put anyone who suggests that the government has known it and hidden it in the same class of lunitic that thinks Bush "knew about" 9/11. If in fact Tim McVeigh did get Arab assistance, which is still purely spectulation, it would mean NOTHING regarding whatever muddle-headed political purposes he had in mind. There have been stranger bedfellows than the Aryan Nation or militia mutants (as examples only) and al Qaida.

Information on political control of the Presidency and Congress can be found
at this CNN page. Information on McVeigh links to Arab terrorists can be found on Google - the credibility of most of it is "suspect" by any generous assesment. However, more information appears to be coming out from a variety of sources, both left and right; and mainstream media is poking at it more and more.
