Another interesting tidbit from the same article: Interviewed by the New York Times, the second-ranking Republican in the Senate, Don Nickles of Oklahoma, said his collegues in the Grand Old Party are backing away from plans to investigate Janet Reno's raid on Little Havana. "It could be turned into political theater, and I don't think anyone wants that," Nickles said. "I'd like to get some answers to some questions, but I don't think we need a big show." Warp back to an earlier time ... say, a week before. In a Chicago Tribune interview, the zealous (if factually impaired) Nickles called for blood: "The administration keeps doing things that seem excessive. Waco was one. Ruby Ridge was another. This is another one. To me, it's an abuse of power." In his now-discarded outrage, Nickles apparently didn't realize that the Ruby Ridge incident took place five months before Clinton took office. In other words, the blame for Ruby Ridge should go on the doorstep of Papa Bush. A good number of people on SI seem to have forgotten this as well.
