a March 18, 1993 memo stated, "the FBI's
*   intransigence appears to EMANATE from Larry Potts level OR ABOVE."

Larry Potts was a buddy of Louis Freeh. Within the FBI, these special
people are called "FOL" - Friends of Louie. [NYT 5/11/97]

Janet Reno (who had veto power over the promotion) testified what happened
at Ruby Ridge wasn't enough to cause her to veto the promotion, foreshadowing
her actions at Waco.

After two months, controversy (as opposed to events) over Potts' role in
Ruby Ridge prompted Freeh to remove him from the position, to politically
cover his own tush.

Potts and four other top FBI officials have been suspended while a federal
criminal probe investigates the destruction of documents related to the
incident.

A total of twelve agents were disciplined. None have yet been prosecuted.

The Federal government subsequently named after a U.S. Marshal who was
killed, but who also shot Randy Weaver's son dead in the back: a new
Marshals training center.
 
The Federal government's behavior in the incident can only be described as
sickening: targeting a citizen (a veteran, no less) who committed no crime
AND EVEN HAD NO CRIMINAL RECORD (but had politically incorrect views) for
blackmail, then acting vengefully when he wouldn't act as their rat fink.

Shoot-to-kill. Sniper team.  Military fatigues.

A terrorizing organization: how else to explain the cruel cruel taunting.

A terrorist organization by virtue of shoot-to-kill orders.

Waco.

Gun charges.

The deaths of all those people were 80% the fault of the government.

I say
