Going Home 300 In Conclusion 3I2 Acknowledgments Index INTRODUCTION The bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Okla­ homa City was the greatest act of terrorist violence ever committed in the United States. Timothy James McVeigh and Terry Lynn Nichols were accused, tried, and convicted in the bombing conspir­ acy. Whatever one says about that verdict-and, as McVeigh's coun­ sel, I will have a great deal to say in these pages-it strains belief to suppose that this appalling crime was the work of two men-any two men. I believe it came about because of foreign involvement. I also believe our government might have prevented the whole thing-if it had been paying attention. This book is an attempt to explain what happened and why. Many people ask me-an Oklahoman, someone who knew people who were killed in the bombing-how in the world I could have represented a man like Timothy McVeigh. It wasn't an easy deci­ sion, as I'll explain in the chapters to come, but it wasn't as difficult as some might think. Even a man accused of the worst act of terror­ ism ever committed in this country-especially such a man-is enti­ tled to the best possible defense. This concept is a cornerstone of our system of justice. My colleagues and I in United States v. McVeigh sought to provide such a defense. As in any criminal proceeding, of course, it wasn't up to us to prove anything. Our task was simply to convince a jury that there was reasonable doubt as to our client's guilt. Our efforts to present such a case, however, were thwarted and finally defeated. The fact that this happened in an American court of law was the shared responsibility of the judge, the government, the press, and even, I XII Introduction must concede, members of the defense team, for which I take full responsibility. But it wasn't just those of us in the Denver court­ room-lawyers, jurors, judge, and Timothy McVeigh-who suf­ fered because of this. All of us lost-all Americans. Because a government theory full of holes carried the day. Because the "others unknown" who helped plan and execute the bombing are still out there. Because the whole tragedy might have been averted but wasn't. And because until we know what really happened, we can't hope to prevent other similar tragedies perhaps carried out by some of the very people who helped destroy the Murrah Building. Those responsible in the federal government would have us believe that the bombing was an open-and-shut case, quickly solved and aggressively prosecuted. If that is right, then it is staggeringly unique. Think of the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Beirut in April 1983. Sixty-three people were killed, and to this day there is not a single arrest or conviction. In December r 988 Pan Am flight 103 was destroyed by a bomb, killing 270 people. As of today there have been no arrests or convictions. In November 1995 an Ameri­ can-run military training center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was bombed, killing seven. Again, no arrests or convictions. In June 1996 another bomb killed nineteen Americans in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. No arrests or convictions. And of course there was the October 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut. Two hundred forty-one Americans were killed, and fifteen years later there has not been a single arrest or conviction. Again and again, the same pattern, whether it is in Karachi, Pakistan, or over Lockerbie, Scotland: The crimes remain unsolved and unprosecuted. And in the World Trade Center bombing, an attack that took place not in the Middle East but in New York, on our own soil, the perpetrators were a group of Islamic radicals. Given all this, does it seem so far­ fetched that what happened in Oklahoma might not be as simple as the government said? The real story of the bombing, as the McVeigh defense pursued it, is complex, shadowy, and sinister. It stretches, weblike, from . America's heartland to the nation's capital, the Far East, Europe, and the Middle East, and much of it remains a mystery. There may be many reasons why this is so, but perhaps the most important has Introduction XIII been the U.S. government. And in the end, the Oklahoma City bombing conspiracy may not merely be the crime itself but also the systematic, deliberate attempt of our federal government to prevent all of us from finding out what exactly happened on that terrible April morning.

PART I 1 "BABY KILLER! BABY KILLER!" A pril 19, 1995, 9:30A.M. eastern daylight time. Department of ~Justice, Washington D.C. The call had been routed from the central switchboard. James Miller, a receptionist in the Executive Secretariat, took it. That was part of his job, answering the "nut line," so called because that was where the central switchboard of the Justice Department sent the crank calls and the prank calls. People, for instance, who felt like threatening the attorney general, or the United States of America, or the world. While Miller was talking on the phone, two fellow employees stopped by his work station. One was Kimberley Tolson, a "corre­ spondence analyst," the other a courier for the criminal division who had a delivery to make. The courier's name was Russell Stuart Green. Since Miller was still on the phone, Tolson signed Green's log sheet for the delivery; Miller, reaching across his desk, time­ stamped it. The time stamp read 9:38A.M. (Actually, the clock inside the stamp was running six minutes fast. The real time was 9:32 A.M. eastern daylight time.) Miller hung up the phone. 4 OTHERS UNKNOWN "This guy's saying some federal building in Oklahoma City just blew up," he told the others. "He's saying he's standing across the street, watching it." "Yeah, right," Kimberley Tolson said over her shoulder, heading back for her desk, while Green, with a straight face, said, "Hey, don't you think you need to tell somebody about that? Like the president?" Eight days later, James Miller was interviewed by the FBI about this call. Miller quoted the anonymous caller as having said, "I'm nobody special. The federal building in Oklahoma City has just been bombed. I'm standing across the street from it. I can see it from where I'm standing." There was only one problem with this, but it was an enormous one.

PEEPS You need to Know NEW SHORT FILM CASTING North Country School program Water: Our most precious resource Commentary: Why do women steer clear of engineering? Honey's effects on human evolution excite UNLV anthropologist By Richard Lake LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL Apr. 16, 2012 Sometimes, life throws things at you. What you decide to do with them can mean nothing. Or it can mean everything. Like when Alyssa Crittenden was an undergraduate and she took an introduction to evolution class at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Whoa. Blew. Her. Away. "It changed my life," said Crittenden, now an anthropology professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas whose most recent study is shaking up the way anthropologists think about the evolution of the human diet. After that first class threw her a curve ball, Crittenden handled it like this: She gave up on being a doctor, she changed her major, she went on to get a doctorate degree, she decided to study the Hazda people in east Africa, and she noticed something kind-of odd living out there in the bush. The Hazda simply love honey. Yes, you're saying right now, of course they love honey. Who doesn't love honey? It's yummy! Well, yes. But. Would you risk your life to get it? These folks do. Which got Crittenden thinking. The wheels churning up in her brain, she began to do some research.

  • 2011'S Women Who Move the Valley
    2011's Women Who Move the Valley Written by Written by Melissa Larsen, Shala Marks, Elizabeth O’Malley, Claire Perkins and Christine Whitton/Photographed by Cassandra Tomei One is the voice of the Valley, filling the local airwaves for more than 20 years. Another is an educator who is helping to transform college-level education with the introduction of Arizona State University’s Downtown Phoenix Campus. Third is an award-winning designer who is encouraging Valley dwellers to ease stress on themselves and Mother Earth by changing the way they look at homes. Seven other inspiring women round out 2011’s Women Who Move the Valley—all of whom are at the top of their respective fields and making the Valley a better place to be, both in and out of the office. Deborah Bateman Executive Vice President of Specialty Banking and Marketing for National Bank of Arizona A second-generation Valley native, Deborah Bateman began her 40-year banking career as a teller trainee at Valley National Bank. Now at the helm of National Bank of Arizona in Phoenix, Bateman says it was being a teller that influenced her to stay within the banking field. “I can’t say that was what I focused on being but, once I got into the industry, I recognized my ability to serve others and help our community,” says the University of Washington in Seattle graduate. Bateman notes that working in banking requires more than just taking deposits and cashing checks. “You’re put in a position of influence where you can support your community and help others to be financially successful,” she says.

  • James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection Archives Finding
    James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection Archives Finding Aid Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art University of Oklahoma 555 Elm Avenue, Norman, Oklahoma, 73019-3003 About the James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection Arizona attorney James T. Bialac (UA, Law, class of ’59) began collecting Native American art in 1964. Over the next 50 years, he amassed one of the most important private collections of contemporary Native art in the world. His collection contains approximately 2,500 two-dimensional works of art and more than 2,500 three-dimensional works, including katsinam carvings, textiles, pottery, and jewelry. Works from the Native cultures of the Southwest comprise the majority of the collection, but tribal groups from regions across North America are represented, including the Arctic, the Northeast Woodlands, the Southeast, the Plains and into Mexico. Remarkably, the artistic quality of the collection is equaled by its pristine physical condition. Mr. Bialac has been particularly attentive to the care and conservation of the works on paper, ensuring that they have been framed behind ultraviolet glass with archival quality acid-free mats. His conscientious efforts will ensure these fragile works will be preserved for all our future generations. “In meeting OU President David Boren and his wife, Molly, I immediately felt a sense of kindred spirit committed to the advancement of Native America. To my delight, in discussions with the Fred Jones Jr. Museum and the School of Art, this sense of vision – of compassionate exploration and scholarly drive – was reinforced and I knew that my collection had found its home.” – Jim Bialac In 2010 he gifted the collection of 4,100 objects to the University of Oklahoma, where the art is displayed at the Fred Jones Jr.
