Re: I still think that guy is no terrorist murderer. I had written down a whole bunch of inconsistencies but here are a few off the top of my head:

blablabla....


LOL! You could have spared yourself the trouble... But let me first correct the following wrong allegation of yours:

All jurors would be lynched probably after they came out of the courtroom along with all the people here having their sense of safety totally destroyed. But, with guilty, everyone wins (except McVeigh and Nichols, oh well what are two guys compared to the mental health status of the nation and national security).

Why would people lynch an acquittal jury? People didn't lynch the 12 jurors who acquitted O.J. Simpson, after all.... Now, as for the "mental health" of the American people and their ill-founded sense of sanctuary, you should have turned your argument the other way around: what really shatters the US's public opinion is the depressing evidence that the most savage crimes perpetrated on US soil turn out to be "in-house violence" --not imported hatred. For that matter, just think of all those shooting sprees that have occured throughout the country --whether in a McDonald's fastfood, or a primary school, or some corporation that just fired a couple of employees.... who fired back (with real bullets!). BTW, all these random shootings are usually committed by white, affluent, yet disgruntled, trigger-happy psychos or their deranged offspring --seldom by minority guys....

So, going back to my point, it'd have been much more soothing for the US public opinion to watch the FBI nailing some foreign bastard instead of Joe Six-Pack. That's likely why the first suspect who got chased down was that innocent Arab-American passenger en route for London.

Now for the easy part: debunking the Middle-East terrorist connection. If some Islamic or Third-World mastermind were planning a terrorist attack on US territory, they'd go for a BIGTIME target since they'd try to achieve the highest psychological impact. Here's a shortlist of plausible targets:

A baseball stadium during a Major league game;
An indoor stadium during an NBA Championship;
A popular shopping mall;
A subway station at rush hour (Chicago, NY,...);
A luxury liner anchored at Miami.

The above are just a few examples of what hardcore terrorists mean by TERROR, that is a diffused feeling of insecurity and the anxious presentiment that the next bomb-blast might be waiting for you, somewhere along your familiar whereabouts.... In any case, that's the classic rationale we find in previous terrorist attacks:

--the 1996 bombing campaign in the Parisian subway;
--the Gladio terrorism in Italy in the 1980s (Bologna,...);
--the state-orchestrated apartment-bloc bombings in Moscow in 1999;
--the Gladio "Brabant" shoot-outs in Belgium in the 1980s (perpetrated in popular supermarkets).

There's no way for some international terrorist organization to pick out a remote, Midwestern burg nobody has ever heard of as their best bet for their deadly fireworks --they too don't sweat the small stuff!!

Conversely, it makes perfect sense for some far-right psycho to zero in on a federal outfit to vent his anger upon it --after all, it's been the anti-govt./separatist movement's handwriting worldwide. Spain's ETA terrorism is exclusively aimed at "federal" targets: military barracks, police officers, "quisling" politicos belonging to nationwide parties, etc.

Same with Corsica's mafia secessionism: targets include Gendarmerie Nationale's barracks, real estate belonging to foreign individuals (villas, commercial buildings,...), and civil servants (cf. the 1999 assassination of Prefect Erignac).

Besides, the OK City's federal HQ epitomized the Sodom-and-Gomorrah nature of the despicable US government, especially for an SSPX nut.... After all, the Murrah building was likely the city's main minority employer --a honkey-tonk crawling with niggers, woofters, and other satanic trash.... By God, GI Tim McVeigh had to do something about it.... had to give it a swill!
