The FBI, CIA and ATF have been responsible for some the worst acts of terrorism on American soil. The Wikipedia article on Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy theories is hilariously convincing.
"These crazy people think USG was involved because one of the alleged bombers was escorted out of the US by the CIA and GSG-9; explosives experts concluded an ANFO bomb of that size couldn't have done that damage, including buidling and testing replica bombs; additional unexploded ordnance was found on site; every single witness reported seeing additional conspirators; and the security footage was erased. It's obviously a baseless conspiracy theory to not believe the government when there is all this overwhelming evidence against the official story."
The Air Force investigation alone is absolutely convincing that there were real explosives (not fertilizer) inside. Everything after that is just a choose your own adventure of guilty parties.
There's some good reasons to believe the explosives that actually took down the building were strategically placed charges on the support columns themselves, which the wikitard article tries to avoid. One of the witnesses that fingered Andreas Strassmeir saw a trio of men placing what she called putty and wires in the building a couple days before. A local university seismograph registered three distinct events, which correlates with two detonations and the building collapse. There was debris scattered by an explosion that would have had to fly past the truck to get to the other side of the street, which would indicate it was thrown by a blast from within the building. Some columns nearest the truck were intact and the explosion miraculously wrapped around them to destroy other columns that were hidden behind them. And finally, the additional unexploded ordnance were most likely demo charges that were blown off by the other discrete charges due to improper timing.
Spez: There is also a good comparison to be made with the Khobar Tower bombing in Saudi Arabia. That attack used 5,000lbs of real deal plastic explosives in a more effective configuration against a similar sized structure that had far shoddier construction, and it still only blew off the front facade of the building.
If the U.S. was truly serious about domestic terrorism, the CIA and FBI would be the 1st to go.
