Steve Rhodes gives airing to

Steve Rhodes gives airing to Schipper some space regarding the conspiracy theories concerning Hamas, Oklahoma City, and Iraq. It is a conspiracy theory. Sometimes they turn out to be true, but mostly not. This probably falls in the not category.

Additionally, the theory seems to be that Hamas and Iraq cooperated on this. There is little evidence that Hamas operates outside of Israel and the immediate area. Fundraising yes, operations no.

This paragraph is especially problematic:

Schippers had come full circle. His theory: A Hamas front had trained Iraqis for participation in the Oklahoma City bombing. The path of Wright?s investigation had been converging with Davis?s all along. And bin Laden was behind the entire mess. Worse still, sources were saying the same conspirators were going to strike again.

This means Hamas, al Qaeda, and Iraq were cooperating to perform this function. This is hard to believe without substantial intelligence information.

Even stranger, why are they training for a job that really requires 2-4 people at most? At best, this is sloppy thinking.

What one seems left with is:

1) Hamas might be training in the US
2) There might be a third person involved in Oklahoma City
3) Apparently terrorists are now suing for libel?

Wanting something to be true, doesn’t make it so. And most of the “evidence” seems to be based on similar reasoning to those who compare coincidences between the Kennedy and Lincoln assassinations.
