Convention Day or Election Day Disaster

Wednesday, July 14, 2004 
“Lily whites” is not how Attorney General John Ashcroft has described the mass murderers currently being recruited by Muslim terrorists, but that is the term the intelligence community uses to portray the non-Arabic-appearing operatives who are attracted to al-Qaida by a common bond: hatred of America.

The lily whites who are out to kill us first surfaced in a credible way on April 19, 1995, when the federal Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, Okla., was bombed to smithereens by the deadliest terrorist attack " ever " on America. 

A young reporter, Jayna Davis, from NBC-affiliate KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City, was assigned to cover the FBI's international manhunt for the perpetrators and the elusive “John Doe 2.” 

Davis (www.jaynadavis.com) has scrupulously documented her nine-year investigation in a best-selling, must-read book: “The Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing.” 

This book, by the way, has been mysteriously ignored by our intelligence agencies and especially by the 9/11 Commission panel that has supposedly sought ALL information regarding the intelligence “failures” that led up to Sept. 11.

Jayna Davis: OKC and WTC Bombers Met in Philippines
Thursday, May 27, 2004

Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols met with World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef in the Philippines before he and Timothy McVeigh carried out their plot, investigative reporter Jayna Davis said Wednesday. 

"Terry Nichols and Ramzi Yousef met personally in the Philippines on the island of Mindanao in the early 1990s to discuss, of all things, bombmaking," Davis told ABC Radio Network host John Batchelor. 

On Wednesday, an Oklahoma jury returned a 161-count murder verdict against Nichols. He is expected to face the death penalty. But the bizarre Yousef-Nichols tie-in did not come up in the trial. 

Davis said she didn't think Nichols would ever discuss his relationship with Yousef, who devised a plot known as Operation Bojinka, a kamikaze airliner hijacking plan that became the blueprint for the 9/11 attacks. 

"Sources close to the defense have told me, and this comes from recorded conversations with his wife, Lana Padilla, that Terry Nichols is going to remain clammed up for the rest of his natural days on earth," Davis told Batchelor.

Wolfowitz Bombshell: Saddam Behind 9/11 Attacks and OKC Bombing 
Sunday, June 1, 2003 4:01 p.m. EDT 

Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, said by some to be the architect of America's war on Iraq, reportedly suspects that Saddam Hussein played a significant role in the three worst terrorist attacks ever on the U.S. - the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. 

Discussing his soon-to-be-released Vanity Fair interview with the top Pentagon official, Sam Tanenhaus told WABC Radio's Monica Crowley on Saturday: "Wolfowitz states that there's a very strong connection, he's convinced, between Saddam and the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993. This is a very controversial idea and yet Wolfowitz embraces it and has for quite some time." 

The Vanity Fair writer added, "Also I was told by a source very close to him that Wolfowitz entertains the possibility that Saddam was involved in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995."

Iraq Linked to 9-11 and Oklahoma City Bombing 
Wes Vernon, NewsMax.com
Monday, Sept. 9, 2002

WASHINGTON-The Wall Street Journal has added its voice to those - in and out of government - who have concluded the circumstantial evidence linking Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the 1993 first World Trade Center bombing, as well as the 9-11 attacks, is overwhelming. 

Former CIA Director James Woolsey also expresses skepticism that Timothy McVeigh, executed for the Oklahoma City bombing, and his accomplice Terry Nichols, sentenced to life in prison and awaiting further trial on murder charges, could have planned and executed this monstrous crime all by themselves. 

Woolsey believes the work of persistent investigators, reporter Jayna Davis and Middle East expert Laurie Mylroie, are onto something, as many clues in their separate probes point ominously toward Baghdad. 

"[W]hen the full stories of these two incidents [Oklahoma City and the first Trade Center bombing] are finally told,” he told the Journal, "those who permitted the investigations to stop short will owe big explanations to these two brave women. And the nation will owe them a debt of gratitude.” 

In a lengthy carefully worded Sept. 5 op-ed piece, Wall Street Journal senior editorial page writer Micah Morrison says while the information to date stops short of "conclusive evidence” the Iraqi dictator was implicated in the attacks on the Trade Center or the federal building in Oklahoma City, "there is quite a bit of smoke curling up from the various routes to Baghdad…”

Anti-terror Prober: OKC Bombing Suspect Worked at 9-11 Airport
Tuesday, May 7, 2002 10:49 p.m. EDT 

A former State Department anti-terrorism prober now claims that a missing suspect in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing is a former Iraqi soldier who later secured a job at Boston's Logan Airport, where two of the 9-11 hijackers boarded planes they later commandeered and slammed into the World Trade Center. 

Larry Johnson, the former deputy director of the State Department's office on counterterrorism, told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly Tuesday that the paths of 9-11 hijackers Mohamed Atta, Marwan Al-Shehhi and Zacarias Moussaoui crossed on more than one occasion with that of John Doe No. 2, the name given to the man witnesses say helped Timothy McVeigh carry out the Oklahoma City bombing. 

The FBI was so convinced of the importance of John Doe No. 2 that it even distributed police sketches in an effort to track him down. 

"He was seen with Timothy McVeigh three days before the bombing, the morning of the bombing, and he was seen by one of the witnesses getting out of the Ryder truck after it pulled up in front of the Murrah building," the ex-State Department official explained. 

Johnson, along with a growing contingent of independent probers, believes that John Doe No. 2 is actually Hussain Hashim Alhussaini, a former member of Iraq's elite Republican Guard. 

"The thing that really concerns me relative to 9-11 [is that] when he left Oklahoma around 1996 and 1997, he went to work at Logan Airport in Boston," Johnson told O'Reilly. "We don't know where he is now."

McVeigh Cites Osama Bin Laden in Letter to Fox News
Friday, April 27, 2001 1:41 a.m. EDT 

A month after a former NBC News reporter went public with evidence of links between Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh and Middle Eastern terrorist Osama bin Laden, McVeigh himself has cited bin Laden in a letter to the Fox News Channel. 

Responding to questions from FNC's Rita Cosby, McVeigh rejected some of the labels that have been applied to him, then tossed in the chilling reference to the notorious Muslim terrorist. 

"Most of the insults are meritless and quite often absurd, so I don't pay them much attention," wrote McVeigh. "Hitler? Absurd. (Geraldo Rivera uses this same analogy, so Keating and Ashcroft are in good company!) Coward? This label would make Orwell proud " it is double think at its finest. Collateral Damage? As an American news junkie; a military man; and a Gulf War veteran, where do they think I learned that? (It sure as hell wasn't Osama Bin Laden!)" 

In the next sentence, McVeigh mentioned convicted World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef, in perhaps another indication of a Middle Eastern connection to his own crime. 

"For all else, I would refer you to my enclosed paper 'Hypocrisy,' and to Ramzi Yousef's statement to the court just prior to his sentencing. I filter all labels and insults thusly." 

In the Jan. 8, 1998, court statement to which McVeigh referred, Yousef proclaimed, "Yes, I am a terrorist and proud of it as long as it is against the U.S. government," before being sentenced to 240 years in jail. 

Last month former NBC reporter Jayna Davis told Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly that compelling evidence links McVeigh to a Middle Eastern terrorist cell ultimately controlled by bin Laden.

McVeigh's Trial Attorney Alleges FBI Blocked Conspiracy Probe 
Friday, May 11, 2001 10:18 a.m. EDT 

Just three days before the Justice Department admitted that its prosecutors supressed evidence in the Oklahoma City bombing case, Timothy McVeigh's trial attorney Stephen Jones charged that the FBI obstructed his own investigation into what may have been a broader conspiracy behind the crime. 

McVeigh is scheduled to be executed next Wednesday for his role in the April 1995 bombing. 

During an interview Monday night on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor," host Bill O'Reilly asked Jones whether he believed McVeigh had acted alone.

O'REILLY: All right, now, Jayna Davis, the investigative reporter from Oklahoma City who we interviewed here on "The Factor," said that [McVeigh's partner] Terry Nichols went to the Philippines a number of times and met with Osama bin Laden's group. The group gave them money and perhaps technical expertise, as you're talking about. Did you follow that angle up? 

JONES: We did. In fact, actually, we were the first ones to do that and Jayna was very resourceful and she tried to follow it for her television station in Oklahoma City. But there simply weren't enough resources. 

But Jones said lack of resources wasn't the only problem: 

"The government was sufficiently concerned about what we were doing out in the Philippines and the help we were getting from the Philippines government that one of the prosecutors went out there with an FBI agent from Japan to shut us down," he told the Fox News host.

FBI Ignored Evidence Linking Bin Laden to Oklahoma Bombing
Tuesday, March 20, 2001 8:42 p.m. EST 

The FBI refused to consider evidence showing Saudi terrorism mastermind Osama bin Laden assisted Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" reported tonight. 

Investigative journalist Jayna Davis, formerly of KFOR in Oklahoma City, told host Bill O'Reilly that she had gathered information showing that bin Laden funded the bombing conspiracy, that Nichols had terrorist ties in the Philippines, and that an Iraqi Republican Guard member accompanied McVeigh and Nichols on the day of the bombing. 

When she tried to present her information, an FBI agent in Oklahoma City seemed ready to accept it - but refused after calling a superior in Denver, Davis said. 

Why would the FBI refuse even to consider such evidence - or any evidence - in this top-priority case? 

"Their reasons, their motivations, that's a matter for the Department of Justice and the former attorney general," Davis said.
