Letter : Feeling for Oklahoma
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Ms Anna Hagger
Sir: The immediate and overwhelming response to the Oklahoma City bombing is one of horror and utter condemnation, but is it not also worth considering the hypocritical light which this appalling act of terrorism has cast on President Clinton? "Terrorism is evil," he says, and he is quite right. Was it the case, then, that President Clinton arrived at a different judgement when bestowing his blessing on Gerry Adams's visit to the White House?
Until the British government reaches agreement with Sinn Fein on the giving up of IRA arms, the potential terrorist threat will remain. What weight did President Clinton attach to that possible evil?
Yours faithfully,
