The recent suicide bombing in Oklahoma brought to mind the person of Laurie Mylroie, who has theorized that Saddam was the mastermind behind all important anti-U.S. terrorist attacks from 1993 to 2001, including the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995.
A WorldNetDaily report on the recent bombing includes Mylroie compatriot Jayna Davis in the by-line, which leads me to suspect that we will hear something from Mylroie soon, particularly with the theories that the bomber, Joel Henry Hinrichs III, was involved with terrorists, despite official denials that any link between Hinrichs and extremist groups has been uncovered.
Given that, I think that it would be wise to take a look at why people tend to dismiss Laurie Mylroie in the first place. This is a pretty devastating article on her by Peter Bergen (Thanx and a tip o' the hat to Diana Moon at Letter From Gotham). And here is another piece on Mylroie by Bergen.
What is interesting is how many connections she has with other neocons who were instrumental in the push to war, including Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and James Woolsey.
I think there is a lot here to feed my future posts, and I will try to begin making sense of all the different threads in the days ahead.
That is all for now.
