Very interesting. The link has the full story. Document: Oklahoma City Bombing Was Taped WASHINGTON - A Secret Service document written shortly after the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing described security video footage of the attack and witness testimony that suggested Timothy McVeigh may have had accomplices at the scene. "Security video tapes from the area show the truck detonation 3 minutes and 6 seconds after the suspects exited the truck," the Secret Service reported six days after the attack on a log of agents' activities and evidence in the Oklahoma investigation. The government has insisted McVeigh drove the truck himself and that it never had any video of the bombing or the scene of the Alfred P. Murrah building in the minutes before the April 19, 1995, explosion. Several investigators and prosecutors who worked the case told The Associated Press they had never seen video footage like that described in the Secret Service log. The document, if accurate, is either significant evidence kept secret for nine years or a misconstrued recounting of investigative leads that were often passed by word of mouth during the hectic early days of the case, they said. "I did not see it," said Danny Defenbaugh, the retired FBI (news - web sites) agent who ran the Oklahoma City probe. "If it shows what it says, then it would be significant." Secret Service spokesman Charles Bopp declined to discuss the video footage reference, saying it would be addressed by witnesses later this week at the capital murder trial of McVeigh co-defendant Terry Nichols. "It is anticipated Secret Service employees will testify in court concerning these matters," he said. Other documents obtained by AP show the Secret Service in late 1995 gave prosecutors several computer disks of enhanced digital photographs of the Murrah building, intelligence files on several subjects in the investigation and a file detailing an internal affairs inquiry concerning an agent who reconstructed key phone evidence against McVeigh. "These abstract sheets are sensitive documents which we have protected from disclosure in the past," said a Secret Service letter that recounted discussions in late 1995 with federal prosecutors on what evidence would be turned over to defense lawyers.
Interesting. If true, there should be a tape for us to watch, and with some due diligence, some corroberating witnesses. Otherwise, we are just looking at Condi's slip....
This is interesting. Too bad we've already killed one of the people who might just know a little bit more about it...
Exactly. But when anti-death penalty advocates argue this point as one of many that pro-killing folks can embrace, they are ignored, in favor of the "Beowulf/Kill the Monster" strategy, one that, as it seems in this case, leaves us wth the ability to have less answers, across the board...
It doesn't have to be right away. We can just wait. It doesn't cost us that much to keep him alive. He can change his mind. Things can come to light that would make him change his mind. Who knows? He was put to death far too fast. I am sure that certain someones wanted McVeigh quiet.
