I'm not defending the FBI's handling of Ruby Ridge or Waco, but Rowley's saying that post-Waco, higher-ups at the FBI are too gunshy to even push for a search warrant unless they're "75%-80% [sure] and sometimes even higher".

I disagree. If she could see the distinction, then she wouldn't use Waco and Ruby Ridge as the examples. The fact that she uses them as the examples is evidence that she doesn't recognize the differences between these situations.

But she's not the one who was gunshy! She's saying the suits at the higher levels got gunshy because they couldn't recognize the differences.
