the A.T.F. fabricated a drug charge ("ugh, they're operating a
methamphetamine lab or something huh-huh-huh") to gain the use of the
helicopters. Later, Governor Richards stated publicly that she had
been lied to by the Department of Justice.
o They knew the secrecy of the operation had been blown. How macho to
plow ahead anyway. They must feel invincible in those stormtrooper
outfits.
Here is the fifty-percent reason.
A little technical quibble.
Reckless disregard for human life, leading to a disaster.
The following descriptions are entirely from Janet Reno's own testimony,
along with other Federal agents and neutral expert testimony.
The approximate date was 6/27/95, on C-SPAN, "Justice Department Oversight,
Senate Judiciary Committee". Senator Arlene Spector presiding.
Ms. Reno testified that the turning point in her decision to forcibly move
against the Waco compound came after she had "discussions" with senior
government people she would NOT NAME.
It is a "Challenger" type disaster, where public pressure caused them to
screw up. The same irony: they didn't want to look bad.
Janet Reno was asked to take off her "safety hat" and
put on her "management hat". She did. She's a good ol' boy.
My apolitical reasons for saying Janet Reno's decision to move against
Waco the way they did was reckless endangerment of life, entirely from
C-SPAN testimony:
o pumped in CS tear gas, which the US has signed a chemical weapons
treaty not to use against countries we go to war against. They were
aware of the indoor lethal capabilities of C.S. gas, because these
were spelled out in the manual.
o pumped in an extra heavy amount of it due to OUTSIDE winds.
o Reno had NO reliable data from her FBI-referred military
expert on the affects of the gas on children or the elderly,
yet proceeded.
o turned off the electricity, and knew they were using candles
