TD; As much as I've looked at this I didn't know

At the time few of us
were aware that the FBI commander at Waco was
Richard Rogers, the same man who had been in
charge at Ruby Ridge. Rogers had been in
command of an operation that went very sour. Here
was a chance to do far more damage. Why let him
command?

What we didn't know was that Lon Horiuchi, the
trigger man at Ruby Ridge, was also present at
Waco.

This puts things in a far more sinister perspective. Not only do we have
the man who changed the rules of engagement from “return fire” to “shoot
on sight," but we have with him, in a position of authority, armed with
armed subordinates, West Point graduate Horiuchi, the man willing to
carry out the “shoot on sight” order.

from & the Guy who wrote it seems reputable.
intellectualcapital.com
it's inconceivable to me they put the same guy who shot an
unarmed women with a baby in her arms right between the eyes
in charge of the snipers at Waco.
When I read that it made me sick, how can we trust a damm
thing they do or say.
Jim

I heard on the radio Monday taht there is an FBI agent coming out saying that on the day of the fire he heard shots being fired from a sniper position.

OT from a computer mag:

The lead editorial in PC WEEK on May 24, 1999 started with: "We've lately had reason to wonder if our nation's cryptography policy is being made by fools. It is a mixed blessing to learn that the people in charge are merely liars." Of course, their conclusion assumes that our leaders cannot be both fools and liars.
