They certainly have a point - when the Democrats are in office egregious things certainly can happen. And when the Republicans are in office, bad things will certainly be reported - whether they happen or not, whether they happened because of the administration or despite its legitimate efforts to prevent them. "Korans will be flushed down toilets," American soldiers will be murdered by terrorists in Iraq, and "al Qaeda will gain recruits" because an officer in a jail disobeyed standing orders. All Bush's faultTM, of course.Janet Reno took "responsibility" for Waco. Not that she took the logical consequence of being responsible, of course . . .
After all, she got on board so late that it "wasn't really her fault" . . . which begs the question of whose fault it was. But of course we weren't to ask that question.
That can be traced back in a long string of errors, to federal courts reading the 1937 Miller case for the OPPOSITE of what it says, and thereby upholding the 1934 NFA. Koresh was wanted for violation of a law that the United States District Court found unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court held that ruling to be correct if the gun in question was one in that had a use in an organized militia, or for common defense.
Then there is the initiation of the raid on the compound, rather than asking Koresh to surrender, or detaining him away from the compound.
