re atf burns dividian ranch no survivors in article c tenu f ns nodak edu green plains nodak edu bill green writes what i would like to see is some serious discussion of this incident i believe the moves made were right and proper but i still have some problems with some of the tactics after watching the abc special on it tonight as well as cnn and nightline i question some of the atf and fbi actions my god a sane person somebody asking intelligent questions rather than spouting of unsubstantiated drivel and making comparisons to nazi germany i question along with others the initial raid by the atf there are some definite questions needing answers could it have been possible to have taken koresh outside the compound at some time before the feb th raid probably which is why there are so many people angry at the initial confrontation why attack a compound with as many people in that compound who are willing to die for their leader further they attacked in the daylight hours without proper backup medical support etc that was rather stupid could a further wait have resulted in a different outcome this i doubt while i question the atf s initial raid i believe that the remainder of the standoff was handled fairly well with the single exception of the psychological warfare by blaring music etc i think that was uncalled for and probably hindered the outcome were fbi actions blaring loudspeakers etc the right course of action see above and a few other questions like i said i believe the actions taken in general were proper but i still have some reservations agreed one other point i m no fan of janet reno but i do like the way she had the balls to go ahead and take full responsibility seems like the waffle boy had problems figuring out just where he stood on the issue which is actually rather refreshing nowadays most of the time the higher ups claim i don t remember or i had no involvement michael g larish amateur radio callsign kd ctz nomad ecst csuchico edu golden empire amateur radio society gears w rhc california state chico state amateur radio society csars university chico butte county sheriff s search rescue
