Subject: SLS: OKLAHOMA GRAND JURY TO HEAR EVIDENCE OF GOVERNMENT
COVER-UP (fwd)
<snip>
>
>OKLAHOMA GRAND JURY TO HEAR EVIDENCE OF GOVERNMENT COVER-UP
>
> Editorial
>
> A Denver jury has found Timothy McVeigh guilty of bombing the
>Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, and sentenced him to
>death. Be that as it may, the performance of his defense lawyer
>Stephen Jones has been a disappointment. Before the trial began,
>Jones promised to present evidence of a government cover-up. He
>didn't deliver. In fact, Jones' performance was so poor that he
>was praised for doing a good job by the government newspaper, the
>Washington Post.
>
> Now, the reason that Jones didn't present the promised
>evidence may be that Judge Richard Match didn't allow him to do
>so. Match ruled that BATF informant Carol Howe would not be
>allowed to testify at the trial. While she would not have been
>able to testify to the guilt of Tim McVeigh, she certainly would
>have revealed a larger conspiracy that the government, through 70
>briefings in advance of the bombing, was aware of. That would
>have placed McVeigh's guilt in context, and could have influenced
>the jury.
>
> Match's ruling is typical of a federal system unable to deal
>honestly with its own guilt.
>
> That is why a venue outside the federal government must be
>used to hear guilt of federal government agents. Oklahoma state
>Rep. Charles Key last week finally succeeded in forcing an
>Oklahoma judge to impanel a grand jury to hear evidence of a
>cover-up by the federal government.
>
> Charles Key's constitutionally guaranteed effort to impanel a
>grand jury through collection of more than 10,000 signatures has
>been met with obstruction efforts from Oklahoma state Attorney
>General Drew Edmondson, Oklahoma County District Attorney Bob
>Macy, State District Judge Charles Owens as well as the
>mainstream Oklahoma state press.
>
> Key's grand jury is the correct venue for pursuing the
>government cover-up. We must now see to it that its efforts are
>not obstructed by government agents and by mainstream media
>representatives. Because he has no support from state
>prosecutors, Key depends on financial support from the public for
>the investigative efforts.
>
> One witness Key should consider bringing before the grand
>jury is James Nichols, brother of bombing defendant Terry
>Nichols. "They (the court) have not received all of the
>information. There is a lot more to this story than has been told
>in court," James Nichols told CNN from Detroit, Michigan last
>week. "If there is a wider conspiracy, which I believe there is,
>it did not include my brother. But Timothy may have been included
>in there to have been set up as a patsy, a fall guy," he said.
>"One or two men could not have done this bombing," said Nichols,
>who is co-writing a book entitled "Freedoms and Conspiracies in
>Oklahoma".
