Yesterday was for Heroes - Today is for the Zeroes
Not all the zeroes are Timothy McVeigh sorts, some are government employees/agents. I leave it for you to decide which is which.
David Hardy has done some research on the
Waco "raid" which so po'ed McVeigh. It seems to me that if the welfare of the children was so important another course of action would have avoided their immolation. Just sayin'...
But, what probably has larger implications for all of us was the apparent willingness of the various federal agencies to lie to other agencies in order to get their support (logistical, material or otherwise) for this raid. If they will lie in this, are they lying in court? If they don't care about the rule of law in this, do they care about the rule of law in dealing with any of us? If this sort of behavior on their part isn't out of bounds, is any behvior out of bounds?
Of course, there was the Oklahoma City bombing. There are many conspiracy theorists out there of which
this is one. Now, I can't believe that the federal government agencies managed to pull off a bombing what with all the whistle-blowers out there who work in but hate the government. The expose everything from the ATF director's opulent office renovations to the Detriot mayor's romantic trysts. How could they keep the lid on something like this? No, I think that there was a conspiracy of McVeigh and others to do this thing and they did it. I am very much of the opinion that all who are culpable (and I don't think for a moment that Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols were the only persons involved) really didn't serve their cause (whatever it was) well. I am also of the opinion that we were ill-served by those responsible for investigating this crime. After all, we don't have them all yet...
