the first 8 paragraphs are all facts... then the opinions come in...

It never ceases to amaze me what some people will believe.

McVeigh was a nutbag who thought he could accomplish something by blowing up a building and killing a bunch of innocent people, just like the nutbags who did the same thing to the world trade center, and just like the nutbags who did the same thing in Boston.

Anybody who sees any kind of conspiracy in this, much less government conspiracy, is just as much of a nutbag as they were.

If you believe those falsehoods are facts, then I have some ocean-front property in Arizona to sell you.

What a crock of bs, funny how some will deny conspiracy theorys, yet promote conspiracy theories.

I like my armchair quarterback theories because **** you!

Don't you find it a little odd that he was found, tried, convicted and executed in like 6 weeks? I really don't remember the length of time from capture to execution, but I remember it being very quick.

On August 10, 1995, McVeigh was indicted on 11 federal counts, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, use of a weapon of mass destruction, destruction by explosives and eight counts of first-degree murder.[54]

On February 20, 1996, the Court granted a change of venue and ordered that the case be transferred from Oklahoma City to the U.S. District Court in Denver, Colorado, to be presided over by U.S. District Judge Richard Paul Matsch.[55]

On June 2, 1997, McVeigh was found guilty on all 11 counts of the federal indictment.[59]

On June 13, 1997, the jury recommended that McVeigh receive the death penalty.[61]

McVeigh's death sentence was delayed pending an appeal. One of his appeals for certiorari, taken to the Supreme Court of the United States, was denied on March 8, 1999.

The BOP moved McVeigh from ADX Florence to the federal death row at United States Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana in 1999.[71]

McVeigh dropped his remaining appeals, giving no reason for doing so.[72] On January 16, 2001 the Federal Bureau of Prisons set May 16, 2001 as McVeigh's execution date.[73] McVeigh stated that his only regret was not completely leveling the federal building.[74] Six days prior to his scheduled execution, the FBI turned over thousands of documents of evidence it had previously withheld to McVeigh's attorneys. As a result, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft announced McVeigh's execution would be stayed for one month.[72]

The execution date was re-set for June 11, 2001. McVeigh invited California conductor/composer David Woodard to perform pre-requiem Mass music on the eve of his execution. He requested a Catholic chaplain. He requested two pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream for his last meal.[75]

McVeigh chose William Ernest Henley's poem "Invictus" as his final statement.[76][77] However, just before the execution, when he was asked if he had a final statement, he declined. Jay Sawyer, relative of one of the victims, noted, "Without saying a word, he got the final word." Larry Whicher, whose brother died in the attack, described McVeigh as having "a totally expressionless, blank stare. He had a look of defiance and that if he could, he'd do it all over again."[78]

McVeigh was executed by lethal injection at 7:14 a.m. on June 11, 2001, at the U.S. Federal Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, the first federal prisoner to be executed by the United States federal government since Victor Feguer was executed in Iowa on March 15, 1963.


so,it was roughly Six Years!

don't think you can Try,Convict and Execute any Individual in the US in the span of Six Weeks!

so you don't think the government (or someone in it) is capable of something like this?

is not that what CT are saying regarding 911?

2 different events... lets try to keep it on topic

Governments, and the people in them, are more than capable of doing something like this. And probably have at one time or another.
You're talking to somebody who has spent a few years working for the
government during war time, so I am well aware of what governments and it's minions are capable of. But they didn't do this.

Qqsame thing, this thread in essence is about a ct. Semantics will not change that. Both are about terrorism, both are about percieved goverment involvment, both are about percieved goverment not telling the truth, hence ct ASSumtions. At the end of the day the Oaklahoma bombings and this thread is a ct, just like many percieve 911 a conspiracy, therefore still on topic.

Nothing is as it seems and nothing is as the official media and government claim it is.

There is always plenty to hide and plenty to cover up.

Don't think for one moment you know the truth. You would be deluding yourself.

i don't think the government itself is doing it, but rather factions inside the government... one of the reasons we need a smaller government.
