#1 Jayna Davis, author of new NYT bestseller, The Third Terrorist, has always maintained that there was an Iraqi connection to the Oklahoma Bombing. Here's her website:

The FBI and Justice Dept. had been dragging their feet on investigating any clues, evidence she sent them. I heard her interviewed on the Barbara Simpson show about a month ago, and Davis said that after Gulf War I, the US took in Iraqi asylum/refugee seekers and within that group were Iraqi intelligence officers who have "disappeared" into the woodwork. Because all of this is rather embaressing to our government, Davis thinks that's the reason no one wants to open this can of bad PR worms-ie. we're "liberating " Iraqis while back at the ranch Iraqi bad guys are plotting evil things against us, and are in our midst, as a result of having been granted asylum 15 years ago.

Here's an article by Michele Malkin that outlines the Iraqi refugee program that took place after Gulf War I.
http://www.townhall.com/columnists/michellemalkin/mm20030403.shtml"Keep Iraqi POWs off American dole"
...After Gulf War I, the first Bush administration and the Clinton administration recklessly opened our borders to former Iraqi prisoners of war -- from conscripts to elite Republican Guardsmen. The resettlement program was launched in response to pressure from the United Nations, the Saudi government (which balked at taking in the captured soldiers), and our own feckless State Department (which has, and always will, act like a hostile foreign entity).

In total, the resettlement of Gulf War I-era Iraqi POWs and their family members in America soaked up some $70 million in taxpayer funds. No such aid was offered to American troops and their families who sacrificed during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

"We find it disturbing that American taxpayers must fund the travel of former Iraqi soldiers (who took up arms against our own soldiers) to the U.S.," noted Rep. Donald A. Manzullo, R-Ill., in a 1993 letter to then-President Clinton. "Ironically, we provide the (POWs) with welfare services while asking our own veterans and service personnel to bear the burdens of deficit reduction."

Even more outrageous: the laxity of screening procedures for these enemy prisoners of war before they were allowed to settle across our home front, from Florida to Michigan, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas and California...

#2 Even these allegations against Padilla are even close to true he is the definition of the word "traitor." Try him, and if he's found guilty, the death penalty.

#3 The current left-activist Supreme Court may well have already decided to blow a hole in their legitimacy a mile wide with their forthcoming decision. This stuff could be laying the groundwork for end-running or simply ignoring it.

#4 "mission to blow up as many as 20 apartment buildings by sealing off units, filling them with natural gas and using timers to set off the explosions"

Sounds like somebody was watching Fight Club...
