I remember clearly the search for man number 2, and it ended really mysteriously - the news media just stopped talking about him. I was in Chicago at the time, and the number of cops on bridges for the week after that was really amazing. Then no more searching. > Further, they claimed that it was a single bomb - the truck, but > eventually discovered incendiary devices inside the building.

There was a lot of comment about this from explosives experts. Don't forget the seismometer recordings that showed a second explosion 10 minutes later (I think, it might have been 1 minute, but definitly much later). They also halted the search for victims so the DEA could remove file cabinets. It sure seemed to me at the time that McVeigh was the fall guy for an inside job. And given the one report about CIA meeting OBL about 2 or 3 months before 01/9/11 one wonders if the big boys just needed something *bigger* to make sure they got total control. But it's more likely stupidity than malfesance. McVeigh was nut, and the BATF stored explosives under a day care center, McVeigh's bomb didn't distroy the building, it just set off the explosives that weren't supposed to be there. Doesn't explain man #2 tho.... So there's plenty of meat for conspiracy theory for a long time to come! Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike
