did they call him a terrorist?

terror and terrorist are two different words.

anyways im done, just saying whats on my mind. no need to crucify me about it
 
That's how YOU took it? you're reading too much into it. This isn't about immigrants or Italians man so let's not add race to this thread, no need really.

DOES THIS REALLY MATTER I LIVE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET..NOT A BIG DEAL.
 
he was saying that the brothers being Muslim was not the motive

Right he says that if they claim they did it because of religion its a fraud, but he says in response to the next question" we are Muslims."
For the record I don't believe Islamic terrorists represent all of Islam, so I'm not trying to be a bigot here.
 
Everybody looking down at these cowards because of a specific race but then forget about the DC snipers, the shooting in Colorado... Done by a African American and a cauasian.

No race definds evil. Evil comes in all differen color, shapes, sizes... Evil comes within a sick twisted demented person

“The McVeigh Tapes” uses computer graphics and an actor whose looks are digitally altered to resemble Timothy J. McVeigh, the Oklahoma bomber executed in 2001.

It’s hard to read faces, but voices are even harder to gauge. Timothy J. McVeigh, the anti-government extremist who killed 168 people in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, had a calm, almost reassuringly matter-of-fact way of speaking. He could have been a building inspector, a driving instructor or a Persian Gulf war veteran, which, of course, he was, having earned a Bronze Star before he went completely off his head.

“See, with these tapes, I feel very free in talking ’cause I know you’re using the information appropriately,” McVeigh told a journalist in a prison interview. “Here, I’m just letting it all come out.” The reporter, Lou Michel, co-author of “American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing,” shared 45 hours of those taped prison interviews to MSNBC.

“The McVeigh Tapes: Confessions of an American Terrorist,” which will be shown on Monday, the 15th anniversary of the bombing, comes at a time when right-wing militia groups are on the rise, or at least more audible, and heightened anti-government talk is heating up anti-anti-government fervor. McVeigh’s descent into violence is presented as much as a cautionary tale as a commemoration.

“Nine years after his execution we are left worrying that Timothy McVeigh’s voice from the grave echoes in a new rising tide of American anti-government extremism,” is how the MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow, who narrates the film, puts it in her introduction.

But strangely, this film, which claims to be the first ever to present McVeigh in his own words, blunts its impact by relying on stagy computer graphics, and even an actor whose looks are digitally altered, to re-enact McVeigh’s movements. Scenes of this domestic terrorist in shackles during a prison interview or lighting a fuse inside a rented Ryder truck look neither real nor completely fake, but certainly cheesy: a violent video game with McVeigh as a methodical, murderous avatar.

Documentaries increasingly use technology, often to good effect. The History channel, which used to rely heavily on quaint, period-costume re-enactments (a shot of a quill pen writing on parchment, a tableau of soldiers firing muskets at close range), is expanding its virtual reach. “America: The Story of Us,” a six-part series about the United States that begins on Sunday, is visually thrilling but in a sensible, instructive way: computer wizardry, for example, peels a map of Manhattan today back to what the terrain looked like more than 200 years ago when the towers and strip mall of Kips Bay were meadows stormed by the British in 1776.

“The McVeigh Tapes” sometimes casts aside real material in favor of a faked re-creation. One catalyst for McVeigh’s terrorist act was the April 19, 1993, assault by federal agents on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Tex., that left 75 people dead. McVeigh visited Waco in March 1993, when it was under siege by government troops. By chance a student reporter, Michelle Rauch, interviewed him as he lounged on the hood of his car.

“He was very unassuming,” Ms. Rauch, who is still a journalist, recalls in the film. She explains that she didn’t know what to make of his words: “People need to watch what’s happening and heed any warning signs.” Ms. Rauch says she didn’t realize until a year after the bombing that her interviewee was Timothy McVeigh. “Well, when I went back and read that in my article, it gave me chills,” she says.

Most documentaries would show her notebook or a clipping of the actual newspaper article — another odd scrap of fate in a real-life puzzle. This one, more focused on ersatz re-enactments, doesn’t.

And ultimately, the film doesn’t make full use of the audio tapes, though that could be because McVeigh’s tone was so dispassionate and even impersonal. He expresses no remorse and is impatient with the victims’ anguish. “Death and loss are an integral part of life everywhere,” he told Mr. Michel. “These people in Oklahoma that lost loved ones, I’m sorry. But you know what? We have to accept it and move on.”

The only time his voice grows animated is as he describes the moments before the bomb went off. “I lit the two-minute fuse at the stoplight, and I swear to God that was the longest stoplight I’ve ever sat at in my life.”

“The McVeigh Tapes” is instructive, but it is a history lesson that blends real materials and fake ones to illustrate the danger posed by fringe lunatics who cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality.
