I don't cotton to polygamy either, but those children that I saw being taken away in buses did not look like they were being abused.

Any girl children that were coerced into marriage by older men could certainly be called victims. I don't think it require smoke bombs and weapons to find out if there are any such in this compound.

We've had a number of cult situations in the last 30 years. To me the primary question is not whether the people were abused, but WHY THEY FELT COMPELLED TO TURN OVER THEIR SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUALITY TO A SLICK-TALKING CHARISMATIC FIGURE.

That's one of the reasons why I bristle when I see people fawning over celebrities, and especially political leaders like JFK, WJC, and BHO.
