#1 Just how are book sales doing, Dick? You'll need all that cash to pay the lawyers as you head off to Federal Prison for lying to Congress. But as the book represents probable process from crime....bwhahahaha!

#2 Mr Clarke's book gives no indication of new information following this investigative dead-end

You could sum up Mr. Clarke's career as one long investigative dead end that resulted in the dead of the world trade center. What a loser.

This is hardly new information. I read a book about this back in the 90's. But you couldn't talk about the connections without getting laughed at or looked at as if you were discussing UFO's. Why it's coming out now, before the election, is interesting. I can't wait to see where they are going with this.

#3 I have no idea why Bill Clinton hated foreign policy so much, but many, many strange things happened during the eight years of his presidency. Oklahoma City was only one of them. I still cannot fathom why the FBI/BATF/Justice Dept came down so heavy on David Koresch, or lied so intensely about it afterward. I have no idea why they absolutely refused to consider that more than two people were involved in the OKC explosion. There are a hundred other things about the Clinton presidency that make just as little sense. Maybe sometime in the next 100 years, all will be made clear, but I doubt it. Most of the intelligence will probably go to the graves with Bill and Hill. The rest of us will be left picking up the pieces, as usual. Clarke's book is a mixture of truth, self-agrandizing fiction, and wish-fulfillment "shoulda'beens", but the main achievement will be to air dirty laundry. Unfortunately for Clarke, most of it will be his.

For the past nine years, our federal government has refused to acknowledge any relationship between the OKC bombing and Terry Nichols' trips to the Philippines. In fact, the government's apparent lack of even curiosity about such a possible relationship has been puzzling.

Now Mr. Clarke, the government's counter-terrorism expert, indicates that there might be some relationship. I haven't read his book, but I presume that it reveals no real effort to examine Nichols' actions and contacts in the Philippines.

#5 Clarke probably nixed any investigation of the linkage. That would follow his MO.
