FBI Whistleblower Testifies That Gov't Scientist Lied About Bomb Crystals
McALESTER, Okla. (AP) - A government scientist lied when he claimed that ammonium nitrate crystals found on Oklahoma City bombing debris had been embedded by the force of the blast, an FBI whistleblower testified Wednesday at bombing conspirator Terry Nichols' state murder trial.
Frederic Whitehurst, testifying for the defense, said an FBI forensic scientist he trained himself, Steven Burmeister, also lied when he testified that the crystals came from the kind of fertilizer believed to have been used in the bombing.

Whitehurst said there was not enough evidence to support either of Burmeister's conclusions.

"He is my student. And I trust him like a brother. But he lied under oath. He lied," Whitehurst said, appearing to grimace with emotion.

3. This is way, way too weird.
I'm not up to speed about what may have really happened at Oklahoma City. But, I have definitely been thinking that it may have been the first LIHOP/MIHOP attempt to throw us into the PNAC plan.
