What has made Jones and "Tim" feel very good, first of all, is a Justice Department report on the FBI crime lab in Washington that criticizes some of the handling of evidence from the Oklahoma City bombing. The other development is last week's filing of a brief that gives a new, comprehensive description of the witnesses the government plans to call. In much more detail than an account back in 1995, the brief describes the witnesses' confusion about the man they said accompanied McVeigh when he rented a Ryder truck--the infamous John Doe No. 2. The disclosure calls...
Last November, agents and prosecutors showed Kessinger photos of Bunting in the hat and T shirt. According to the brief, Kessinger has concluded that he was thinking of Bunting when he described the man with McVeigh. Kessinger is "now unsure" whether he saw a second person; Elliott and Beemer "continue to believe that two men came in to rent the truck on April 17." The brief goes on to say both are certain Hertig was not "Kling" because they knew him and because he has a mustache, which Kling...
...hope of the prosecutors to construct a case that dashes the current good feelings of Jones and McVeigh. The brief the Justice Department filed laid out in detail some of the ways they intend to do that, but it raised a potential problem with regard to John Doe No. 2.

That the Justice Department had dismissed John Doe No. 2 was not news; back in June 1995 it announced that it had called off its manhunt. The news detailed...

When FBI agents located Bunting in Fort Riley, Kansas, they found he fit the description of John Doe No. 2. According to the brief, when he rented the truck he was wearing a Carolina Panthers hat with a blue-and-white pattern, and he even has a tattoo on his left...
Kudos on yet another piece of irresponsible journalism in regards to the Coop, this time in the form of Molly Hennessy-Fiske's "Crashing the Coop" (Feb. 1, 1997). As was evinced by my brief conversation with the author as she was researching the story, as well as observing her interactions with other interviewees, Miss Hennessy-Fiske's intentions were not to provide a fair account of bookselling at the Coop, but rather to push an agenda. I, in turn, would like to push mine...
