Summary: Blows my mind - Read this book
Review: After listening to the author on Glenn Beck, I rushed out to buy this book. This author convinced me that the law enforcement "powers that be" "screwed up" well before 9/11. How can you argue with 23 witnesses? afadavits? and the support of well-respected intelligence officials? Jayna Davis lays out a case for at the least,obstruction of justice charges, and at the worst a monumental coverup. This once again proves how "risk adverse" the Clinton administration was. No wonder Middle Eastern terrorists thought they could succeed on 9/11/01. They already made their mark on 4/19/95. It is appalling to think that she did a better job of investigating than the very organizations who are supposed to protect us, but the book leaves no doubt. She is the hero in this story. She wanted the truth. Other's did not.

Summary: Reads like a Tom Clancey Novel
Review: As David Schippers predicts in his introduction this book will drop like a missile on the federal bureaucracy. (And it looks like it already has judging by some of the reviews). The John Doe #2 part is especially intriguing. Those of us in Oklahoma City that have closely followed this knew that there were many John Doe's that were seen in Oklahoma City. Ms. Davis' book skillfully exposes the government's efforts to erase John Doe #2 from history. The Third Terrorist had me crying (and I don't cry easily) with Ms. Davis' touching narrative of what the victims experienced during this horrible act of terrorism. It sets the stage for understanding why she never gave up in her efforts to find justice for the victims (and why the citizens of this country should never give up, either).

Summary: A Long Time Coming
Review: At tremendous personal risk to self and family, and with support of her 41 year old female editor, Jayna Davis has sought out information supporting the potential link of the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in April, 1995. So much of the official version doesn't "add up" and while one may quibble with the accuracy of Ms. Davis' speculations, what does shine through is the absolute and ethical dedication of an investigative journalist on the track of a tremendously important story, which was "wrapped up" in a rather amazingly quick fashion. Timothy McVeigh would not speak of any other terrorists until his death. His conspirator received life in prison. In the world of this kind of terrorism, we are becoming accustomed to the "need to know" methods of international terrorists. There is little doubt the McVeigh knew such individuals intimately, and that this sort of terrorist will gladly die without revealing further information. We are learning more about this at the time of this writing. Perusing other "customer reviews" I'm not surprised by the black and white thinking of many of them. Some easily will denounce anything having to do with the former FBI director. We have to face one thing, you don't become FBI director without many contacts, and abilities to manage a huge organization, whether appointed by a Democrat or a Republican. This former director has much positive to say about Ms. Davis, but he's rather neutral on her conclusions--as he'd have to be. Much of the information Ms. Davis accumulated was admittedly attained illegally (through taping interviews surreptitiously) and I have little doubt that this occurs on a rather routine basis. Those implicated are not indentified except by pseudonym, but this hardly detracts from the story. That there are internal "enemies" who will conspire with disgruntled invididuals, even those who have "served" in our military, will come as a surprise to no one. That the FBI or other organizations might not pursue an identified individual, hoping that surveillance will lead to identification of other, more dangerous and higher-level conspirators, also comes as no surprise. This book is a page turner, and will leave the reader wanting to know more. It casts complete doubt upon the "lone actor" theory but is much more substantive than typical "conspiracy theory" tomes. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Interesting ... probably nothing to it though ...
Review: Davis may use TONS and TONS of circumstantial evidence to build her case, but it's still an interesting one.
I'm not going to rehash the material that others have already gone through; I just wanted to point out the biggest question that Davis never seems to answer. If all or any of this is true, why would either the Clinton or Bush administrations sit on this and do nothing? What could they possibly have had to gain by not acting on this information if it was credible?
The only logical answer is that Davis's theory isn't credible and our government knows a little more about the finer details of this investigation then the public does. Which isn't really an unreasonable assumption.
Still ... I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next guy, just be careful how seriously you take any of this. More then likely, t's all just conjecture.

Summary: Dubious links to Middle East terrorists at best
Review: I came away from this book less than satisfied with the link to Al-Qaeda which the author presupposes in the penultimate chapter. First off, it is highly doubtful that a member of the Republican Guard has any links to UBL. Secondly, the very fact the Hussain Al-Hussaini is depicted as having a drinking problem stretches the thin veneer of credibilty of an ideological Islamic terrorist too far. Thirdly the name dropping the author uses to further her credibility is a who's who of right wing Iraqi haters and war hawks and three Fake, I mean FOX news show appearances hardly make a case for believability. All in all the links to Al-Qaeda are, at most, wishful thinking. Having said that, it is quite possible that the terrorists were working for a different foreign intelligence group and if this is truly the case, there is much for our FBI to answer to. I am not convinced that these men were state sponsored terrorists and there is nothing in the book to support that supposition either. There is much hyperbole and mislabling in this book and would only recommend it as a tool for those who are interested in how not to write an expose.

Summary: Every US citizen should read this book
Review: I cannot say enough good things about this book. Jayna Davis, over the last nine years, has persisted in uncovering and proclaiming the truth about the Oklahoma City Bombing, something our own federal government staunchly refuses to do. Books like this often are immediately dismissed by so-called "intellectuals" and other liberal-types as right-wing drivel. My answer to that is people like that need to pull their heads out of the sand and study the facts of what the author is presenting. Ms. Davis has done a stellar job of documenting her investigation (in stark contrast to the amateur job done by the FBI and DOJ) and the conclusions reached thereby. No one with a shred of common sense can say that the facts Ms. Davis present point to two home-grown terrorists acting alone. In short, Ms. Davis has proof (beyond reasonable doubt, in my professional and personal opinion) that a former Iraqi soldier (probably a former member of Saddam's Republican Guard) named al-Huseini helped plan and execute the bombing, and accompanied McVeigh IN THE VEHICLE as he pulled the Ryder truck in front of the fated Murrah Building on April 19, 1995. Davis' extensive interviews document the other Iraqi collaborators as well, and "connect the dots" not only to the OKC bombing, but to the later terrorist attacks on America as well. I am NOT a conspiracy theorist, but this one is so obvious it is undeniable. The federal government, despite having been shown to have conducted an incomplete and indeed incompetent investigation, and in fact having committed outright lying, falsification of evidence, and other possible CRIMES, refuses to acknowledge the evidence Ms. Davis has presented. I have nothing negative to say about the book, except to say I wish it had a happier ending documenting complete truthfulness from our government. Ms. Davis, for the sake of America, and for the sake of freedom and democracy around the world, I hope and pray the final chapter has not yet been written. In a time when the words are so ridiculously overused, your work represents true bravery from a true hero(ine). God bless you.

Summary: Dead On
Review: I echo some of the statements left by other reviewers here, that if this investigation had been handled like it should have been, we might well have prevented 9/11.
I read this book a few months ago, and I still can't stop thinking about it. When people talk to me about what happened that day, I can only tell them what I experienced first hand. I was in the building on the first floor when the bomb exploded, and it was the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. I literally thought the world had come to an end. By the grace of God and the luck of mere seconds I escaped a horrible death. As I saw the destruction and the bodies of my co-workers I could only think one thing, that only a brutal monster could have concocted such a plan to kill innocent people. Saddam Hussein is just such a monster. I firmly believe Iraq had something to do with this tragedy. I looked Timothy McVeigh in the eyes at his trial and all I kept thinking was that he was just a patze in a much bigger plan. Especially after reading this book, my beliefs are even more cemented. Thank you Jayna.

Summary: Amazing Investigative Journalism
Review: I suspect that anyone who written a negative review on this book quite simply has not read the book. This must be one of the most highly documented piece of investigative journalism I have read. Well written and absolutely compelling. With scores of witnesses and a mountain of other corroborating evidence, there can be no other conclusion but that of a middle east connection. Further recent news reports (after the printing of this book), such as the foiling of terror bomb plots in the UK using the same explosive mixture as the OKC bombing make this read even more timely today. Read with a skeptical eye, and watch as the evidence speaks for itself.

Summary: Very Credible Book
Review: It's abundantly clear that people leaving reviews here have never read the book they're reviewing. Otherwise they wouldn't be making the snide, ignorant remarks they're making. I've read Jayna Davis' reports since she first began her investigation and her culminating work is a top-notch example of investigative reporting at its best. She did what the FBI didn't do, didn't want to do, and what other reporters were too lazy to do. While the FBI edited and fabricated its witness reports, Davis carefully interviewed the witnesses and objectively reports what they saw and heard. Her years of research have paid off, but even she can't finish her story without the aid and support of honest intelligence gathering. To me she's proved the connection without a doubt. Now it's time for the government to tell what it knows. Read the book yourself and judge. Chances are you'll see the Iraq war in an entirely new light. For liberals, this book will dash their fondest desire to blame the extreme right wing militia groups and "Christian fanatics." But to objective readers, it will open up an entirely different reality backed up with facts. Recommended highly.

Summary: The Real Beginning of War on Terror
Review: Jayna Davis does an amazing job detailing her investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing from her position as a reporter for the local NBC station. This book is full of astounding information unknown to most Americans, but which should be getting national publicity. If Davis' investigation has credibility (and it was endorsed by former CIA Director James Woolsey), then the War on Terror really started, or should have, after the Oklahoma City bombing. You will find this book to be as engrossing as a good spy novel, and find it all the more intriguing because it is not fiction! I highly recommend this book to all Americans. It is not partisan, but it just may be the most unnerving book you have ever read. Let me warn you, you may feel compelled to pound on your Congressman's door demanding an investigation after you read this!
