re: WACO Trailer | Taylor Kitsch plays David Koresh

I remember the furor over Waco and the general feeling among the entire public was that the government started the fire and was out of control.

The government of course denied everything, rewrote the narrative in the ensuing years...and sadly today, the revisionist narrative might have won the day as it seems less and less have sympathy for the Waco dead.

But the government did as much as they could to rewrite the history with accusations and defamation over those that died.

Waco and Ruby Ridge sort of show how the country has shifted. Once we were aghast.

As for Reno and Clinton in this debacle:

Former aide, Dick Morris said Clinton wanted to drop Reno after his first term in office but Reno threatened to tell the media that it was Clinton, not she, who ordered the raid on the compound in Waco that ended with 76 men, women, and children killed when the building was burned to the ground.

"Reno threatened the president with telling the truth about Waco, and that caused the president to back down," he said.

"Then he went into a meeting with her, and he told me that she begged and pleaded, saying that . . . she didn't want to be fired because if she were fired it would look like he was firing her over Waco," Morris said. "And I knew that what that meant was that she would tell the truth about what happened in Waco.

"That was after Clinton had told me, 'Janet Reno was the worst mistake I ever made,'" Morris said. "He hated her."
