More than a couple of people (which, for this hot dog stand is a lot) have written in to point out the odd resemblance between John Doe #2 from the OKC bombing and Jose Padilla.


It's even more strange due to the fact that Terry Nichols was once married to one Lana Padilla.


This is one of those tinfoil hat scenarios I'm not yet ready to buy into.

However, someone whose knowledge and opinion on the links between Christianists and Islamicists I respect has not entirely discounted the possibility of a link between McVeigh and Islamicist terrorists. I never understood why McVeigh would have needed outside help, nor why no external group would have claimed responsibility for what happened.

But, in any case, there are some definite (if potentially tenuous) links between our theocrats/right wing loons and theirs. Something to pay attention to.
