The Search For Explosives Continues

And no, I'm not talking about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

I am talking about further investigations into the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995, which killed 168 Americans when Terry McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and possibly others detonated a car bomb in front of the Murrah Federal Building.

It turns out that the FBI didn't do a thorough investigation of one of Nichols' prior residences, and that a new search turned up ... blasting caps and other explosive materials apparently related to the 1995 attack, officials said Friday. FBI officials said the material was found buried in a crawl space of the house in Herington, Kan., which wasn't checked by agents during the numerous searches of the property during the original investigation of Nichols and Timothy McVeigh.

Sadly, the CIA isn't alone in massive intelligence and investigative failures. That failure rests alone with the Clinton Administration era FBI investigation.

A major question remains - are the procedural and structural failures in the FBI that permitted such a major oversight still there?

Hiya lawhawk!

So does this mean that the evidence Jayna Davis produced will finally be acknowledged?

Boy, if anyone in the White House wanted to clear the decks in the FBI, all they would have to do is publicly open THAT can of worms.

I still cannot fathom why her investigation was buried? Very suspicious and unsettling. One of those Middle Eastern men is living in Boston still I think. Tried to find out where, but no luck. He isn't a titled owner of property :OP
