Considering the new rumor Mr. Limbaugh and others are spreading, we felt the title of this article was appropriate. If we could have, we'd have added in the sound of a big fat raspberry! The rumor surrounds a possible connection between the Oklahoma City Bombing and the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon by middle-eastern terrorists on September 11th of last year. Rush Limbaugh was apparently enjoying the surprised reactions of his audience to this incredible revelation... that there may indeed be a legitimate connection. Perhaps the large one needs to know who first brought that information to the attention of the Real American Public... On October 5th, 2001, Sierra Times brought you that news (link:http://www.sierratimes.com/archive/files/oct/05/edck100501.htm) from none other than the man who headed the Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation Committee, former Congressman Charles Key: The biggest related issue is the fact of the Iraqi soldiers resettled within this country. After the Gulf War, President Bush began a program of resettlement of Iraqi prisoners to the United States. This program was continued and expanded by President Clinton. As a result, there are many possible "plants" residing here, from government-sanctioned "extremist" organizations in their own countries, ready to participate in any terrorist activities their "handlers" desire. How many times over the past few months have you been told that Iraq was somehow involved in the terrorism that came to our shores? How many times have you heard that the Bush Administration is planning to take action against Saddam Hussein for that involvement? Sierra Times brought you the facts about that involvement a full seven months before Rush and company even considered mentioning it. Forgive us for spouting off about this, but we're getting sick and tired of people like Limbaugh trying to pass off what our readers know as "old news" as some form of investigative journalism on their parts! They didn't go out and dig up the story... they just rehashed information that has been sitting out there patiently waiting for someone to grab it and run with it... and it was sitting out there because Sierra Times damn well did go out and dig for it! OK, so it isn't the first time, and we know it won't be the last... but what is it going to take to get it through some people's heads that Sierra Times is a "real" news organization, that Sierra Times has consistently broken the big stories before those other guys, that Sierra Times has demonstrated over and over its commitment to getting to the truth and getting it our where you can read it? Hey, Rush... you wanna get the truth to your listeners? Then why not just start your morning with a cuppa hot coffee and a stop at the Ol' News Ranch? Then you can share the big news almost as fast as Sierra Times does! And, while you're at it... how about giving Sierra Times credit once in a while? Come on, Rush, and all the others like him... you know you've stolen stories right off our front page, so why not at least give us credit? And, for the record... no, this wasn't the first such story that we brought to you first... and it won't be the last... and if you happened to catch our story on the slow postal system last week, then you might get a better glimpse of what bee we've got under my bonnet when we mention one other thing: It seems that today, although it was never mentioned in public before we ran that story last week... Congress has begun complaining about slow mail delivery! Apparently they're just now getting some Christmas Cards that were sent last December... Sound familiar? It should... you heard about it here first, folks. Ok, we're done tooting our own horn - the rest of today's news is below. © 2002 SierraTimes.com (unless otherwise noted) This article may not be reproduced without expressed permision from Sierra Times.com or the author.
