WASHINGTON - Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder used to shoot hoops for Stuyvesant High in New York City, but these days, he tosses a blue "stress ball" at wood-paneled office walls.

As Attorney General Janet Reno's top deputy in charge of the day-to-day operations of the Justice Department, Holder also is juggling political time bombs.

He's at the helm of the campaign finance investigation and the potentially explosive review of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files. He's also quietly reviewing the independent counsel law.

Feels to me like his NEXT position is being ironed out.

Forgot to say: in the PRIVATE or NGO sector.

Interesting that the article has been removed from the source. Yes it is. I am glad you posted this article. I did not know Holder had been involved with Waco. I read he had something to do with Ruby Ridge?

Ruby Ridge happened under the Bush administration.

Holder may have had something to do with the subsequent Fed action to remove the Horiuchi manslaughter case from state jurisdiction, don't know.

He might have been involved at some level with Ruby Ridge as he was with the Clintonistas.
