Nor did the "militia cause" suffer from it:

Re: Or his madness? He was clearly nuts -- and, as far as I am concerned, a patsy.

Not from a psychiatric viewpoint... If McVeigh had been diagnosed as mentally ill he'd have been confined to a madhouse. Actually, yours is a captious line of thought in that it overlooks the fact that the US is teeming with hundreds of rightwing/quasifascist militias totalling hundreds of thousands of members. Are they all FBI fronts? Are all militia nuts patsies to be framed by the "evil federal government"? Finally, just because people happen to commit "foolish" crimes doesn't imply that they were tricked into committing them --smart people too blunder every now and then....
