"Sgt. McVeigh was an outstanding soldier. He did what he was told, anticipated what had to be done (and) took pride in his work,"
 
- Capt. Jesus Angel Rodriguez, McVeigh's commanding officer during the Gulf War, testifying at his sentencing hearing

It's called a Reichstag Fire
 
The OKC Chronology you're not supposed to know
 
1. A second bomb found inside the building
 
SUSANNE SEALY, Correspondent: Yes, LEA [sp], I can. The Oklahoma City police and the FBI have confirmed there is another bomb in the Federal Building. It's in the east side of the building. They've moved everybody back several blocks.

2. Forget the people, get those papers
 
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Hours after a bomb ripped apart the federal building, some rescue workers were stopped from searching for survivors while federal officials removed boxes of documents.
 
"You'd think they would have let their evidence and files sit at least until the last survivor was pulled out," one angry rescue worker told The News.
 
The worker and a firefighter said that 10 to 12 hours after the 9 a.m. blast April 19, federal officials began limiting the number of rescue workers in the building to a dozen, confining them largely to the lower right side of the battered structure.

3. FBI quietly drops pursuit of John Doe No. 2
 
Denver, Colo. -- An internal FBI memo indicates FBI agents suspended their search for the elusive Oklahoma City bomb suspect John Doe No. 2 in the critical weeks soon after the April 1995 blast, belying assurances by federal officials at the time that the search was continuing.
 
The memo, the existence of which is publicly disclosed for the first time here, undercuts the government contention that federal agents have done everything they can to find the mystery suspect...
 
In the memo, San Francisco-based FBI agent Thomas Ravenelle writes that he's discontinuing efforts to investigate a lead relating to attempts to find and identify John Doe No. 2 "in view of the fact that the Oklahoma City Command Post has directed all offices to hold (John Doe No. 2) leads in abeyance."

4. McVeigh's first confession faked by newspaper
 
"The document containing a purported confession by alleged Oklahoma City bomber Timothy J. McVeigh, published by the Dallas Morning News, was fabricated by an investigator for the defense team, a friend of the investigator said yesterday."
 
The Washington Post 03/05/97 By Lois Romano and Tom Kenworthy, Washington Post Staff Writers
 
5. DOJ report calls FBI's OJC bomb blast conclusions: "incomplete... inappropriate... scientifically insupportable"
 
"Williams' report contains several serious flaws. His opinion as to the VOD of the main charge was unjustifiable; his statement of the VOD of ANFO was incomplete; his categorical identification of the main charge as ANFO was inappropriate; his estimate of the weight of the main charge was too specific and based in part on improper grounds; his conclusion as to the containers for the main charge was unjustifiably categorical; his categorical identification of the initiator for the booster was improper; his conclusions concerning a non-electric detonator, the fuse, and the time delay were scientifically insupportable; his conclusions were not supported by the contents of the report; and he included some AE dictation in a selective or confusing way. These errors were all tilted in such a way as to incriminate the defendants. We are troubled that the opinions in Williams' report may have been tailored to conform to the evidence associated with the defendants. We conclude that Williams failed to present an objective, unbiased, competent report."

============================
 
* A timely terrorist
 
He wanted to start a revolution, but even with years of prison to sort out his thoughts he never found the time to write even the briefest of manifestos. Fellow inmates said he spent his time reading car magazines.
 
He wanted to protest the murder of innocent women and children - so he murdered innocent women and children.
 
He was a crack marksman, good enough to reportedly haven taken the head off an Iraqi soldier in a machine gun nest at 1,000 yards - but he chose a complex truck bomb, something he had no training or experience with, to deliver his violent message.
 
Tim McVeigh was a most convenient and cooperative terrorist.
 
The government wanted the world to believe that a single truck bomb loaded with fertilizer destroyed the Murrah Building - and at the end of his life, McVeigh apparently told two journalists that the story was true. That he lit the fuse personally in traffic while on the way to the building. You can read all about it in the mass market book that came out just before the execution.
 
The country needed someone to be arrested quickly, sit in jail for a few years, not implicate anyone else and then die at the hands of an executioner in order that the nation might "heal" - and he proved to be the right man for the job.
 
The government apparently wanted him gone fast, due process be damned - and he seemed to have no problem with that.
 
A Constitution-shredding anti-terrorist bill languished in Congress, unpassable, and needed a massive demonstration of extreme violence against the federal government and innocent people - and Sgt. McVeigh delivered a Ryder truck to the front of the Murrah Building right on time.
 
A remarkable confluence of purposes for two forces supposedly at odds with each other.

* Dead and gone?
 
Just in case you're curious, Timothy McVeigh's body won't be autopsied, reportedly at his request, even though though conducting an autopsy of executed prisoners is standard procedure in US prisons. Federal Judge Richard Matsch, who made the ruling, must have a heart after all.
 
In addition to the no autopsy ruling, a signed agreement between McVeigh and the government states that pictures, X-rays and other medical information gathered by the coroner's office after McVeigh's death will remain confidential.

The body will be cremated. By now, it may already have been - again at McVeigh's request and with Judge Richard Matsch's approval.
 
The execution itself?
 
Here's an excerpt of the first eye witness account of the execution broadcast by MSNBC just minutes after it was over:
 
"The shallow breathing continued... or what appeared to be shallow breathing... even after they pronounced him dead." - Susan Carlson. Reporter. WLS Chicago
 
See her say it yourself in streaming video before it's taken down: http://www.apfn.org/movies/mcveigh-lives.WMV
 
The execution was not videotaped, again by court order, so all we know of what happened at the end are from the eye witness accounts.
 
No body. No video. No photographs. Not even an X-ray - and a sealed coroner's report.
 
Did "Timothy McVeigh" die on Monday?
 
It depends on which one you mean...
 
The one on the left, the McVeigh we know from the media? Or the one on the right, a man identified as an ATF agent photographed during the Waco Branch Davidian trial (published months before the OKC bombing.)

Call it a Reichstag Fire.
 
No one believed the audacity of it in 1933 either.
 
================
 
* History Lesson
 
"On Feb. 27, 1933, a fire destroyed part of the Reichstag building. Hitler immediately accused the Communists of having set the fire. President von Hindenburg proclaimed a state of emergency and issued decrees suspending freedom of speech and assembly."
 
The following day a law was passed ...
 
"People were not sent to Dachau as a punishment for a crime after being convicted by a court of law, but rather as a preventive measure because they were suspected of being a danger to the state. Such a person was called a Schutzhäftling and the order for preventive custody was a Schutzhaftbefehl. Prisoners who were arrested and taken to Dachau were told: "Based on Article One of the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State of 28 February 1933, you are taken into protective custody (Schutzhaft) in the interest of public security and order. Reason: suspicion of activities inimical to the State."
 
And remember, if you speak against the state, you're a dangerous nut, just like that Timothy McVeigh...And he sure got what he deserved, didn't he?
