"The bomber's words sound mainstream. Like he won!" President Bill [View all]

Clinton on timothy mcveigh, in an hbo documentary "An American Bombing: The Road To April 19".

I came across this in a Guardian article by Andrew Gumbel, titled with those words. I cannot post it here (computer does not let me link, or copy and paste), but it is a deeply disturbing article about the links between mcveigh and the bombing, and the reichwing crazies today, including the current crazies in charge. Amoung the many disturbing things in the article is the assertion that mveigh deliberately targeted the daycare center, as retribution for Waco, and the decison by the government not to investigate or talk about his links to various reichwing groups and ideologies (now actually in our government), but to portray him as a "lone wolf". We are paying heavily for those decisions today.
