SOUR LAKE, Texas - A former federal prosecutor who successfully defended the government in a lawsuit filed by surviving members of the Waco cult was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A police officer found the body of former U.S. Attorney J. Michael Bradford on Tuesday after checking on an abandoned car in the woods near Sour Lake, about 20 miles from Beaumont. The body and a shotgun were about 75 feet away. The wound was apparently self-inflicted, Sheriff Ed Cain said.

I do not know what this atty might have known that would be reason for murder.

I imagine he knew a lot about the role of the military at Waco.

Isn't this the *second* Waco-related attorney to die recently? Seems another guy died just a couple of weeks ago related to the Davidians case.

Time for a Free Republic ceremonial beer run. A six shooter of Fosters to kill tonite.

If we all killed a six of Fosters on each Clintonista suicide reported, it might get some notice by Fosters, The Fosters, and the media.

Same guy, same case, multiple threads, same wild speculation.

I don't know about all of you, but I thank the stars that Tommy Chong is going to jail and our Justice Department is run by the folk who really make a difference in government.

I agree with that, but a heck of a lot of other people know as well. The atty's sources, for just a few.

Same splatter........C'mon folks, government worker types are not prone to courageous fits of conscious, setting the record straight, coming clean with their maker, and blazing trails of independant axe grinding.

Government workers are about as suicide prone as pigs are prone to spontaneous aeronautical adventures.

Musta missed it. I had thought of arkancide, as well, but I hadn't connected to Emperor Clark.

If memory serves, Bradford came clean with some info about Waco that the DOJ had been concealing, and was fired as a result.

Bradford had recently been in private practice with a Beaumont law firm.

Beaumont? No wonder he was depressed.

One cannot read this and not think Arkancide.

This is the only way the Clintons can win - kill those who would tell the truth about them, fix elections, demagogue every issue and lie.

You mean, Wes Clark, of Little Rock, Arkansas? The Democrat general who claims he is running for President? The guy with the campaign staff chock full of Clintonite hangers-on, sycophants and operatives?

If this was not a real suicide, then the Clinton's people are behind it.

Let's see:

A police officer found the body of former U.S. Attorney J. Michael Bradford on Tuesday after checking on an abandoned car in the woods near Sour Lake, about 20 miles from Beaumont. The body and a shotgun were about 75 feet away. The wound was apparently self-inflicted, Sheriff Ed Cain said.

Drove into the woods? And then the body and a shotgun were found 75 feet away? Personally, I don't believe for a minute that this Foster Bradford committed suicide.

Gimme a break.
