OK Bombing Cover-up

Carol Howe

Today the History Channel took a pretty exhaustive look at some of  the ''conspiracy'' charges re the Oklahoma City bombing.  Specifically, the Elohim City connection, and Carol Howe.  While they dramatized Howe's attempts to warn of the coming attack, they left out some particulars.     Howe was a doll baby debutante who got involved with an Aryan hate group headquartered in Elohim City, OK.  A group that Timothy McVeigh had ties to.  Somewhere along the line she became concerned over very radical plans being formulated, like assassinations, and bombing government buildings.  Carol became an informant for the ATF, under the control of Special Agent Angela Finley.  Based on what her wired conversations revealed, and showing Finley specific targets (including the Murrah Federal Building), the ATF planned a raid on Elohim City.  The FBI found out, and stopped it.  They were running their own sting on Elohim City, and had their own snitch, and their own agenda. Judge Richard Matsch refused to let Howe tell any of this this to McVeigh's jury, ruling that she was unreliable.  Remember, she had been wired by the ATF, and filed regular reports as Agent 183. But she was unreliable. The FBI's position was that McVeigh was the lone gunman in the Texa s Boo--  I mean the lone bomber.  ABC's announced follow-up segment was squashed before it could air.  These specifics were missing from the HistChan report, and I think they're important. Finally, and this hit me in the eyes at the time, when just days before his execution, it was discovered that the FBI failed to turn over some 4000 documents to McVeigh's legal team, it took only a few days before the Judge  ruled they were irrelevant, and ordered the execution to be carried out.  In normal circumstances McVeigh would still be dodging the hangman with various legal dodges.  Nobody in the US of A goes to the chair before having spent at least 15 years on death row.  Someone wanted this guy gone, PDQ.  Personally, I think Bill Clinton did not want it revealed that a turf war between the FBI and ATF resulted in massive loss of life.  We all know how ''persuasive'' Slick can be when it comes to silencing bad news, don't we?  Let's talk about TWA 800 some day. Here's some video snippage, and here's the transcript from that 20/20 show.
