-Caveat Lector-
{{If this confession is used as evidence against McVeigh, could not
law-enforcement and prosecution, when they are pretty sure they have
the right person, just tell them they are going to die real soon of
a terminal illness or something and see to what they will confess?
Then they would have a 'deathbed confession" to use if an appeal is
filed.
I think the FBI might have become a bit hysterical with this case.
Remember the Freeman standoff when the FBI used the 'heat-sensing'
device to count the number of militia encamped in the area? Being
typical 'spymasters' of the "Get Smart" variety, you will recall
that they counted the cattle, too!! I think maybe 42 members of
militia made an appearance but the FBI found 30,000 'warm bodies'
camped all over the place. Must have been city boys for those were
cattle. But it scared them sufficiently that they backed down on
that one. Guess they scared themselves. And I think that may have
happened in the OKC situation, also.
Just my thoughts.

McVeigh's Confession Null and Void, Lawyer Argues
A lawyer for convicted Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh argued
Sunday that his recent confession to the April 1995 crime has been
legally nullified by the FBI's admission it kept secret thousands of
pages of potential evidence from attorneys at McVeigh's 1997 trial.
McVeigh's attorney Robert Nigh made the startling assertion during
an interview with Fox News Sunday's Brit Hume and Tony Snow.
HUME: Is your task not somewhat complicated by the fact that your
client admitted he did this?
NIGH: It is not. This case has to be viewed in the context of the
evidence at trial. It has to be viewed in the context of the
evidence that is now available to us, that was not available to us
in 1997.
Seconds later, Tony Snow revisited the issue of McVeigh's
confession, made public in a book released just this month.
SNOW: Mr. McVeigh has said that he is the sole person responsible
and that he wants to die. Has he been lying to everybody?
NIGH: He has never said that in court and under the legal status of
his case when he indicated that he would not want to pursue any
further appeals, we did not have the kind of revelation that we have
today. In light of that, it's completely reasonable to reevaluate
his position.
McVeigh admitted to Lou Michel and Dan Herbeck, authors of the new
book "American Terrorist," that he planted the bomb that destroyed
the Alfred P. Murrah building on April 19, 1995 -- and did so acting
alone.
Previous to the speaking with Michel and Herbeck, McVeigh had
refused to discuss his role in the bombing.
