Thanks. Although much of the scrutiny has been on the April attack, I personally find the abuses of power in the February attack equally compelling, especially since (1) the latter is a sine qua non of the former; (2) there is indisputable proof of wanton recklessness on the part of government agents; (3) a sine qua non of the February 28 casualties was the decision to conduct a lawless no-knock raid despite the lack of authorization.
Every BATF agent who entered Mount Carmel Center during that initial attack should be charged with 11 counts of Murder in the First Degree. They had no legal justification for entering the way they did (thus their entry constituted armed burglary), and their actions resulted in the death of 11 people.
Blind obeyance and faith in McNutty's perjured works?
That would be my diagnoses ...
PS. I have resolved from now on to BREATHE through my gills or not at all ...
