Yogi,
Perhaps those workers didn't feel that the orders were bad.
Perhaps they believed that it needed to be done, and they weren't about to go into an unknown and volatile situation unprepared.

You know, was it X2 or average joe who posted about the workers in the government office who wore black to show their disapproval of Reno's actions, but wouldn't give their names because they were afraid they'd lose their jobs..
I thought, well, big deal, if they really felt strongly about it, why don't they stand up and say so? It seems to me that they were having it both ways.

Of course I don't know how the agents felt, and if they truly thought it was wrong, I guess they should have said- no.
But I wonder if many of us really have the guts to do that- with families to support, and positions to preserve.
Even Al the CAveman in that Chauvinist Site doesn't use his real name as he rips into society. Nor do you for that matter. Or I.
Things are so much easier in the dark. With a mask. Or a hood.
