-----Original Message----- From: sparta13 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: October 22, 2001 9:57 AM Dear Readers, I would like my response to Ms. Molchany to receive the widest circulation possible. ********************************** Dear Ms. Molchany, I found your response to my letter published in The Washington Times, in which you call it "an outrageous lie," very offensive. You may not agree with the provisions of the 1996 Anti-Terrorism Act; your clients may even have been treated unjustly. However,not only are there provisions in the act for review of the secret evidence by an INS judge, provisions which are designed to protect persons such as your clients from the kind of injustice you claim, but in my judgment in the security of nearly 300 million Americans is the primary concern of the Congress of the United States and no one has a God-given right to enter this country. I contend that if we are to err, we should err on the side of protecting this country from aliens whom we have reason to believe are connected to terrorist organizations. While that may occasionally impact on an alien who is, in fact, not connected to terrorist groups, the safety of the American people should be our first consideration. You mentioned that Muslims have been detained and confined for as long as four years, often in isolation, If that is true, it is unfortunate and should be addressed, but it doesn't mean that we should jeopardize the safety of this country to accommodate them. My concern is about the security of this country, not about their rights. The results of September 11 should make that perfectly clear. And as far as Mr. Woolsey and Mr. Lantos are concerned, they are entitled to their opinions. This certainly is not the first time I have disagreed with those gentlemen, especially Mr. Lantos. I believe I still have the right to do so. You state that the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act was created as a response to the Oklahoma City bombing which had nothing whatsoever to do with Arabs or Muslims. How can you be so sure? (and in passing, I believe it was journalist Ann Coulter who said in one of her commentaries, (to paraphrase) "All Muslims are not terrorists, but all the terrorists have been Muslims." Facts to consider regarding the OC bombing. Bill O'Reilly of FoxNews had someone on his program several weeks ago, a woman who stated that Islamic terrorists were involved in the Oklahoma City bombing. Right after the bombing, we kept hearing about John Doe 2, who looked "Middle-Eastern" and had an unfamiliar accent (an Hispanic accent would have been recognizable). Then, all of a sudden, the guy disappears - as though he never existed - that is until the release of the withheld FBI documents. John Doe #2 has come back upon the scene. But where is he? What has happened to him? Whatever McVeigh knew, he took to the grave. One of the cable networks interviewed one of the grandmothers who had lost two precious grandchildren. She stated that McVeigh should not be executed because Americans have not been told the whole truth. That was quite a statement to make from someone whose loss is so great. I think she is right regarding her concerns that we haven't heard the whole truth regarding the Oklahoma City bombing. We are hearing more and more about Abu Say, the terrorist in the Philippines who is connected to Osama bin laden. Abu Say's aim is to claim Mindanao as an Independent Muslim Island. My neighbor's wife, who is from the Philippines, said her father was assassinated by Muslim terrorists and Catholic villages continue to be destroyed, their Christian occupants slain. Frankly, in my opinion, and many share it with me, there has been a cover-up of the Oklahoma City bombing and it's possible Islamic terrorist connections. Right after the bombing of the Oklahoma City Murrah Building, Congressman Saxton, Republican from New York stood on the floor of the House (I heard him myself!) and announced that Terry Nichols had taken four (I've heard as many as 20) trips to the Philippines, to the Southern part of the Philippines where it is a hotbed of Islamic (Abu Sayyaf) terrorists. Furthermore, I've been told that Nichols has a Muslim wife. I recently heard another caller into C-SPAN say that beside Terry Nichols taking trips to the Philippines to the camp of Abu Sayyaf, so did Timothy McVeigh, which I had not known until then. Since travel to the Philippines is costly, who paid for those many trips? McVeigh and Nichols didn't have enough money (so to speak) to buy a pot to (ahem!) relieve themselves! Interestingly, the May 17, 1995 issue of STRATEGIC INVESTMENT, makes several points regarding the bombing: 1. That it does not rule out the involvement of a foreign government. 2. The blast was very powerful, four times larger than the largest bomb detonated against a civilian target by the IRA. Bombs in the Middle-East have been this large, however. Comparatively speaking, the Oklahoma City blast was equivalent to the bomb that destroyed the Beirut Embassy. 3. Our sources close to law enforcement indicate that the bombing was a sophisticated operation that would have cost at least $100,000 (considering that McVeigh was leading a hand-to-mouth existence in a trailer park, lacked the capacity to organize or fund the bombing operation himself). And finally, I suggest that you go to the following link to read an interview from World Net Daily, Oct 21, with David Schippers (cover-up) regarding the Oklahoma City bombing. http://wnd.com/news/printer-friendly.asp?ARTICLE_ID=25008 Sunday, October 21, 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ---- SUNDAY Q & A Middle East-OKC connection David Schippers tells Metcalf feds 'ignored' warnings of WTC attacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ---- Frankly, Ms. Molchany, to even suggest that aliens take priority over the security of this nation at a time when this nation suffers at the hands of aliens whom we let into our nation in good faith is ludicrous and un-American.
