9/11 See other 9/11 Articles Title: Truth Remains Elusive 18 Years After Oklahoma City Bombing I had just dropped off my oldest – and, at the time, only – son at the Montessori school he attended in Norman, Okla., when a KTOK radio reporter shared a live report about some kind of explosion in downtown Oklahoma City, 20 miles north of where I was. It was only after more details began to flood in that the scope of the tragedy became evident. Four years ago today, I published my first, albeit brief, article about the Oklahoma City Bombing. No investigative journalism. No interviews. More than anything, just an observance. Because I didn’t know much at the time. That changed after I read Jayna Davis’ New York Times Best Seller, The Third Terrorist. On June 7, 2009, I published a piece in which I called for the federal government to reopen its investigations Into TWA Flight 800 and the Oklahoma City Bombing. On Sept. 27, 2009, I published another, Video Raises New Doubts About Oklahoma City Bombing Evidence, Investigation. It included my first mention of Jesse Trentadue’s relentless campaign to obtain copies of pre-explosion surveillance video shot by cameras in downtown Oklahoma City and, in turn, learn the truth about the death of his brother, Kenneth Trentadue, while in federal custody in Oklahoma City. It also included several statements attributed to Trentadue in a NewsOK.com article published that day. Among them, one stood out: “Four cameras in four different locations going blank at basically the same time on the morning of April 19, 1995. There ain’t no such thing as a coincidence.” – Jesse Trentadue On Sept. 28, 2009, I published three more articles – part 1 of 3, part 2 of 3 and Part 3 of 3 – based on my exclusive interview with author Davis who, after years of not speaking to anyone in the news media, broke her silence about the OKC Bombing videotapes. On Sept. 30, 2009, I published another article based on my exclusive interview with David P. Schippers, a Chicago attorney who gained fame during the ’90s as the man who served as chief investigative counsel for the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee during the Clinton Impeachment Hearings, as manager of the proceedings that followed in the U.S. Senate, and as the author of the book, SELLOUT: The Inside Story of President Clinton’s Impeachment, chronicling those events. NOTE: He also served as director of the Justice Department’s Organized Crime Task Force in Chicago under Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy during the 1960s, though I didn’t realize that at the time I wrote this article. On April 20, 2010, I shared political pundit Dick Morris’ observation that President Bill Clinton’s Waco actions render claims of an OKC Bombing cover-up more believable than ever. Sadly, Morris’ claims only scratched the surface of a much larger crime. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
