I don't think Timothy McVeigh was anything more than an angry white American citizen who lost a lot of his faith because of the Waco atrocity.

I don't believe T.M. had a middle-eastern connection, but I do believe he was conned into believing his action was sanctioned by what he considered "right thinking" government people in the USA.

I believe he was told the children in the day care center were going to be out of harms way when he set off the bomb, and after the fact, I believe he was told it was an unfortunate logistics screwup. Being a "good Soldier", I think he accepted the outcome as "collateral damage" that happens in many military operations. I think he was told that he had killed all the supervisors and planners of the Waco fiasco and the "wrong thinkers" in the Government were covering up the efficiency of his actions. I think he would have broke down and given up his superiors if he had figured out how he had been munipulated. I believe he thought his death was going to be faked.

I believe our spy satillites picked up his explosive experiments before the Oklahoma bombing and I cannot understand why the authorities didn't act when the testing was going on, unless there were people "on the inside" who wanted him to go on. Timothy McViegh was and is a murderer, a terrorist, a fool, and a hormone driven young man who was used by older more intelligent men to commit his act.

A passport and having your butt born in the USA do not make you a good person, a loyal citizen, or a "never to be" terrorist. American history is replete with citizens who were and some who still are a detriment to this country.

We are now where Germany was once and the government is attempting to restrict its citizens under the guise of terrorist control. Stop and think how being "accidently" put on a "no fly" list can affect business ventures, free speech, social activism, and physical health if you are not allowed to fly. I believe the placement of Senator Ted Kennedys name on the "no fly" list was done intentionally for the purpose of threatening the masses who would complain about the abuses of power going on right now. It seems to work on you because you really believe it is for the nations good, and it is not.

Everyone ought to carry a blade on every airline the world over, and the airlines should have "loaner blades" available for those that forget or do not usually carry one. One of my favorite fantasies of a hijacking gone bad is to have a normal sized hijacker attempt to hijack a plane full of little people who can't reach higher than his belt line with their knives. Instant "Gender Bender" without having to go to Sweden for the operation.
