The Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation:
A Real Fertilizer Story

As Americans wait for the start of what is sure to be the most important criminal trial of the decade, those closest to the tragedy are uneasy. A dark cloud of suspicion looms over the inhabitants of this land of perennial thunderstorms as surely and as ominously as the cloud of media disinformation that has all but obscured the light of truth to the outside world.
As the victims of this tragedy grapple with the pain of a lost limb or loved one, another inexplicable anguish has been slowly seeping into their consciousness. It is the slowly creeping realization that the government which they had trusted to protect them has gone terribly wrong.
This realization has touched not only a growing cadre of conspiracy theorists, but ordinary housewives, dedicated journalists, and astute politicians. It is a realization backed by an increasingly obvious barrage of government double-talk, lies and intimidation.
