Nichols: Third Man Helped With Bombing

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050504/ap_on_re_us/nichols_letter;_ylt=AjwBWQLaP6jM1.adt0i_aPms0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2M2YzbmJmBHNlYwN1cw--


Terry Nichols has written a letter to a woman who lost two grandchildren in the Oklahoma City bombing and accused a man never charged in the attack of providing some of the explosives used to bring down the building a decade ago.

Nichols, serving a life sentence for his role in the blast, said in the four-page handwritten letter that "I felt the record should be set straight." He claims Arkansas gun collector Roger Moore gave the explosives to
Timothy McVeigh and provided additional bomb components recently found in Nichols' former Kansas home.

-snip-

An
FBI spokesman in Kansas City said the letter will not lead to a new investigation and that there is no indication Moore provided explosives to Nichols and McVeigh. Prosecutors say Nichols stole an estimated $63,000 in weapons and other items from Moore's home that were then sold to help finance the terror plot.

-snip-

In the early stages of the bombing investigation, the FBI took a hard look at Moore because of his anti-government views and close relationship with McVeigh.

1. It would be nice if someone could corroborate his story
but we just had to execute McVeigh.

Vengeance triumphs over justice once again.

2. What, you mean it's not an iraqi?
The freepers are convinced that Saddam was behind the Oklahoma City bombing.

"Roger Moore" is a good cover name, however.

I couldn't believe that Nichols' insane brother is suing Michael Moore for libel after his looney appearance in "Bowling For Columbine". I've always figured James was the third man in it all. Michael Moore didn't make him look crazy, he is crazy.

3. Yeah, I didn't really think it was Moore making him seem crazy
Moore just captured it on film

4. for some reason the picture of Moore made me think of the guy that


shot Ruby.

don't know why, but that whole shooting of Ruby scene jumped into my mind when I saw the pic.

5. After reading "American Terrorist"
by Lou Michel and Dan Herbeck, I do not think there is any possibility that they did not have the assistance of others.
