With you Ken 100 % . She was the most corrupt AG in office to date.

Koresh apparently went into town all the time and could have been easily picked up. The way I heard it, the ATF was facing budget cuts and their Waco raid was more of a promotional stunt than anything.

This may not be the most cruel and most stupid statement I've ever seen on SI,
Ann, but it ranks right up there near the top. Will you please explain to me how
those babies and mothers bothered Reno so much she had them burned to
death?

You are the one who is ridiculous to take such an extreme position about Waco.

Janet Reno through her representative warned that cult leader that he had better obey the law. By the way, you do realize that we are all expected to obey the laws of the U.S., don't you? That's how a society remains civilized.

When they refused to conform to the law, and recklessly flaunted it, the Attorney General gave the order to remove them from the compound by force. During that encounter, a fire began, caused by combustible materials inside the building. The government representatives had no way of knowing there was highly combustible heaters( or whatever they were) inside the building. A conflagration started, and the cult members could still have vacated the compound as ordered. Instead the lunatics who controlled those sheep-like, so-called adults, ordered them into the basement-- and thereby caused them to lose their lives.

You know, you do have the obligation to use common sense when forming your political opinions. Some responsibility for logical thinking is required when you are a citizen of a democratic republic.
