-Caveat Lector-
It is well known that McVeigh is a puppet-used as a cover for what
REALLY happened in OK city. The segment of the populace that still
believes that McVeigh's fertilizer destroyed that building will stupidly
feel 'closure' when he dies, while the truth is very far away from
McVeigh
and fertilizer. Strange how they HAD to very quickly 'remove' that bldg
for reasons of 'healing'.
