Anyone waving a placard or voicing dissent against the Obama
administration dare not protest too loudly. President Bill Clinton has
reignited the incendiary rhetoric of April 19, 1995. He effectively
sealed his second White House bid in 1996 by blaming conservative talk
radio for inciting the heartland bomber Timothy McVeigh. Now, fifteen
years later, the Democratic playbook promises to claim far more
victims. Only this time, hardworking Americans stand in the
crosshairs.

In a recent CNN interview, the former commander-in-chief sounded a
battle cry to the political left, press and pundits alike: Vilify the
Tea Party, deeming its membership capable of the violent rampage of
the Oklahoma City bomber. This stigma imperils the most influential
grassroots movement in modern history. Nothing threatens to muzzle
free speech more than being stereotyped a "Tim McVeigh wanna-be."

For me, this political correctness run amok triggers déjà vu. The
smear campaign represents an instant replay of the backlash that I
endured as a TV news reporter on the trail of the infamous John Doe 2.
I was branded a "racist" for pursuing leads that illustrated how Iraqi
intelligence agents, soldiers who served in Saddam Hussein's army
during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, infiltrated the United States in
order to recruit and assist Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in
executing the worst act of terror in 20th-century America.

What I discovered shatters the Tim McVeigh mold as an "angry white
male" who vented his hostility through published letters to newspaper
editors -- and soon thereafter, crossed the threshold from peaceful
discontent to wholesale mass murder. Instead, copiously researched
evidence, as outlined in my book The Third Terrorist: The Middle East
Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing, exposes McVeigh as the
ultimate traitor, acting in collusion with al-Qaeda terrorists and
hostile foreign governments such as Iran and Iraq.

The decorated Bradley gunner openly expressed to an Army buddy during
Operation Desert Storm that he "wanted to become a mercenary for the
Middle East because they paid the most." Upon returning from the
Persian Gulf War, he failed the cut for the elite Special Forces. The
combat hero suffered a blow to the ego from which he would never
recover.

The lanky, awkward teenager from upstate New York had joined the
military to shake the childhood stigmas of ordinariness and anonymity.
Beneath his clean-cut persona, he harbored a warped sense of empathy
for Osama bin Laden, the first World Trade Center mastermind Ramzi
Yousef, and Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. During his incarceration,
McVeigh penned personal essays unveiling his deep-seated sympathies
for Middle Eastern terrorists that fueled his anti-government
zealotry. He unabashedly expressed regret for the killing two Iraqi
enemy combatants, for which he earned the Bronze Star.

Jailhouse interviews recently broadcasted by MSNBC confirm McVeigh's
obsessive need for notoriety. Shortly before his 2001 execution, he
granted unlimited access to two authors of his biography in order to
dictate how history would portray his role as the Oklahoma City "super
bomber." McVeigh lauded himself as an emotionless executioner, an
ingenious mastermind, and the author of his own fate.

Demented pride impelled the American terrorist to fire off letters to
the press following my appearances on cable news programs. His ire
inflamed as I announced to a nationwide audience that Osama bin Laden,
Iraq, and Iran sponsored the Oklahoma City operation. My investigation
demeaned the Army sergeant's status and relegated his role to that of
a mule, or rather, a button-pusher. In the lexicon of the intelligence
community, Timothy McVeigh was nothing more than a "lily-white"
delivery boy -- someone who had no ostensible ties to a Middle Eastern
terrorist organizations, and thereby could operate below the law
enforcement radar screen. He was a handpicked dupe, set up to take the
fall in order to save his Islamic collaborators from prosecution. Bill
Clinton's FBI ensured just that.

The Bureau failed miserably in its prodigious quest to find McVeigh's
legendary accomplice, John Doe 2. It soon became evident that federal
agents conducted a myopic manhunt bent on collaring a "homegrown"
third terrorist of Caucasian, not foreign, descent. In early 1996, the
Bureau conducted an unprecedented investigation in a herculean effort
to connect a religious compound of white separatists and a band of
Aryan Republican Army bank robbers to the Oklahoma City bombers.
After all, they were cut from the same cloth as Timothy McVeigh and
Terry Nichols. These right-wing extremists indubitably fit the profile
of the angry white men who would avenge their hatred of the
establishment by destroying a federal complex.

After conducting twenty-five thousand witness interviews, the FBI
could not find one witness who tied the neo-Nazi suspects to downtown
Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh, the Ryder truck, getaway vehicles, or
the bombsite. All had irrefutable alibis. In short, the FBI failed to
produce one eyewitness account, fingerprint, motel registration log,
or phone record linking these alleged conspirators to the commission
of the crime. The judge who presided over Terry Nichols' 2004 state
murder trial ruled the Bureau's pursuit of additional domestic
terrorists amounted to nothing more than "hyperbole and a dry
hole."

The FBI compliantly accepted the court's rebuke rather than take
receipt of my voluminous dossier indicting Iraqi soldiers in the
crime. In 1997, when I attempted to surrender the witness statements
and corroborative evidence, the FBI flatly refused to take it. But I
persisted, and in 1999, FBI Agent Dan Vogel accepted the witness
affidavits and investigative file. From there, the documents simply
vanished.

To this day, the FBI has failed to investigate the multiple sightings
of Iraqi Republican Guardsman Hussain Al-Hussaini in the presence of
Timothy McVeigh prior to the bombing, exiting the bomb-laden Ryder
truck the morning of April 19, and escaping the ill-fated Murrah
Building in a getaway vehicle pursued by the FBI in an all-points-
bulletin issued for Middle Eastern terrorists. More significantly, two
federal court rulings establish that this Iraqi soldier has no
provable alibi for the morning of the bombing.

The FBI never questioned Hussain Al-Hussaini and has refused repeated
requests from Congress and the press to clear him officially of
complicity in the Murrah Building bombing. Why? It is my firm belief
that Bill Clinton and Janet Reno should be called upon to answer that
question. Meanwhile, the Democrats will continue to spin the fictional
portrait of McVeigh to the party's advantage.

Undoubtedly, Tim McVeigh espoused hate. He advocated civil
disobedience. He called for armed resistance to punish a republic he
no longer trusted to protect the liberty of its citizenry. But by no
means does his crime symbolize anything other than the maniacal act of
an unstable individual living on the fringe of society. For Bill
Clinton to draw a comparison between a bloodthirsty terrorist and Tea
Party conservatives, many of whom are senior citizens on walkers, is
nothing short of a national outrage.

However, those threatened by the mounting ranks of dissatisfied voters
will continue to stoke the flames of demagoguery. McVeigh was a
soldier of fortune -- a far cry from the peaceful citizens of the Tea
Party. Yet until the evidence embodied in The Third Terrorist is
prosecuted and validated in a courtroom setting, Americans who hold
their elected leaders to account will continue to bear the onus of
"Tim McVeigh wanna-bes." The historical record, as written by the
Clinton Department of Justice, leaves the door open to malign
protestors as latent terrorists just awaiting the impetus to act. This
insidious distortion of truth demands redress.

The time has arrived to exorcise the ghosts of Oklahoma City and bring
to account the Arab terrorists who butchered innocent Americans and
the officials who suppressed the evidence of their guilt.
