Fox News: Was McVeigh Saddam's Patsty?

Atrios caught this John Gibson piece on the Fox "News" website in which Mr. Gibson suggests/speculates/??? that Timothy McVeigh was just a patsy, or "grunt," doing Iraq's dirty work when he bombed the Murrah building in Oklahoma City.

Leaving that aside, the part that sticks in my gut is this:

The fear that the McVeigh execution might have been an error — and a mistaken execution — could put the federal death penalty itself in jeopardy. The fear of losing the federal death penalty could explain why the U.S. government does not appear to be anxious to act on evidence it has that Iraq may have been involved in the Oklahoma City bombing.

That's My Word.

Here's my word, John: "crazy."

Do you really believe that the government would hide the evidence of an Iraqi attack on American soil purely out of fear of losing the federal death penalty?

And, I thought liberals hated George W. Bush!
