re janet reno killed the waco children in article bb a de v a vm temple edu v a vm temple edu richard hoenes writes such a hostage situation has taken place on numerous occasions with the result of the police trying to take the place by force and the result being the death of the hostages and the gunmen however this is the first time i ve heard of the blame landing squarely on the police in this country we have a policy of not negotiating a back down from terrorists and hostage takers since that only encourages other terrorists and hostage takers richard that people are at risk and that some die during a hostage situation might be considered an acceptable scenario in storming a compound when everyone dies save for nine people including twenty children the outcome must be considered a failure now was the failure due to unforseeable circumstances incompetence or negligence from the double talk and multiple stories i ve seen on the news coming from the fbi and reno i find it was an honest mistake hard to swallow let s hope they get their stories straight for the second round of questions joseph stiehm
