2. Yes, this is an EXCELLENT question.

And it's one I'd like to see one of the Repub shills answer.

7. Especially in light of the recent right-wing terrorism report

Wasn't it irresponsible of the government not to torture McVeigh to make sure he didn't know about other plots against government buildings?

4. rw response: "The should have!!1! Clinton was president and didn't; so he's a terrorist appeaser"

6. I'm unsure of this exactly, but didn't that "terror" attack yield legislation...

...that later benefited the whole phony "war on terror," and Patriot Act legislation? I know I've read that in various conspiracy/deep politics literature, although I'd have to go Google for it to be certain.

5. But but but

they're WHITE and "CHRISTIAN", not brown and Muslim. Whites are always honest, truthful, and "good" doncha know. And those other people who worship God but use Arabic to say His name are, of course, "bad".
