Reno vs. Rumsfeld
A friend of Professor Bainbridge's has posed a very good question:
I was too young when Waco happened to remember much of any reaction from either side of the political spectrum, but I suspect that many on the left weren't very critical of it. I'm not one to use comparisons to pasts administrations to defend current ones, but this is a relevant point.
I wonder how many of the Congressional Democrats who are in full throat calling for Rumsfeld's head on a platter made any noise at all 10 years ago when then AG Janet Reno ordered the assault in Waco that resulted in the incineration of more than 80 souls. Maybe someone can check the record?
