Ya know, Its funny but most people don't know McVeigh's reason for taking out the Federal Building. He had been a protestor at Waco, holding signs and leafletting about the abuse of the Federal Gov's power to search and seize, without reason. When the ATF and FBI decided it was time (along with Reno, who gave the order) to liquidate the comp ound and those in it, McVeigh sought revenge. It was never talked about much, but there was an ATF office in the Federal Building that was the target. McVeigh had actually done an inves- tigation to find out where those agents were based who had done the initial attack in Waco. His conclusion was that it was that office. This is something that is not talked about in the media at all. If this was back in 1776 and those were British Troops, he would have been a hero, but these are different times. Personally, I think the guy should fry. The way to deal with things like this is through the courts (which the survivors of Waco lost their lawsuit), in a trial by jury. -John
