Padilla is OK City's "John Doe"
Maybe...whatcha think? He was given a lot of dough by OBL to "practice," according to the gubmit. Several witnesses described a never-caught John Doe with McVeigh to the authorities, who created this police sketch. They got rid of Timmy McV real quick, and locked up Padilla without access to anyone. Just a theory. But remember who we're dealing with...

10. McVeigh spoke of this in one of his letters. He was upset about...
...what he did in Iraq and with the U.S. Government. The men who helped them were too. They made a natural couple.

14. Gore Vidal hinted at this right before 911
Vidal interviewed McVeigh and said that there was a lot more to the story. 911 happened shortly afterwards.

Believe it or not, the Freepers have been pointing out connections to OKC and Middle Eastern groups for a long time.

3. Purposefully distorted to convince you
Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 08:35 PM by Must_B_Free


Freepers have been selling this idea for a long time - infact it was their original reason to invade Iraq.

AT one point they morphed the two images to make it more deceptive. The one posted above is widened from the original to make it look more like Padilla. You can hardly tell that the chin is way too wide to be Padilla in the distorted image. Of course, the more it's distorted, the more you can infer.

8. I do remember something about
a Juvenile, a step son or something fitting this description also. Still, it does look like the Padilla, distortion or no. After all the drawing is just that, a drawing. Perhaps the original chin was wrong?

Interesting in any event. I will continue to be curious how things come out with this guy Padilla.

9. The nose it totally wrong in the original sketch.
Also the shape of the jaw is off. Padilla's mouth isn't in a natural frown, in fact it turns upward into a grin. The eyebrows are dead on, but the eyes in the real sketch are different.

Most importantly, Padilla is at a glance Latino. The guy in the original sketch is not, nor were there any reports that he was.

11. It looks like him whether you distort it or not
Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 09:01 PM by Atman
This ain't no freeper crap...you can see it with your own eyes. I'm not saying I have anything of proof, just these pics that have been kicking around for years. Sorry, after nearly four years of Bush, I believe NOTHING out of this WH, and I suspect EVERYTHING they say to be a scam. Sorry. He's the boy who cried "terra!"

4. Holy shit.
This is really creepy. The police sketch of "John Doe" looks more like Padilla than the other one looks like McVeigh.

Was this sketch really made at the time of the OKC bombing? It's just eerie.

5. Lana Padilla is the name of Terry Nichols' ex-wife
from the Philippines.

7. In Richard Clarke's book he says Nichols was in Phillipines
at the same time that Al-Queda was training and in the same city.

Coincidence??? I can't quote the exact passage because I don't have my book with me anymore - I lent it to a friend.

13. Well, maybe Al-Q was in cahoots with OKC bombing... but Iraq?
* has yet to give a solid reason for Iraq's involvement in 9/11, OKC, the invention of chicken soup with rice, or anything else.
