The FBI will continue to stand behind Lon Horiuchi, an FBI sharpshooter charged last month by local authorities with involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of Vicky Weaver, wife of white supremacist Randy Weaver, during a deadly standoff in Idaho, Freeh said. "We fully support him," Freeh said. "It was a horrible tragedy. It was a mistake on his part, but we believe he was acting as he was trained to do. He was within the scope of his authority. ... He reasonably believed at the time that what he was doing was proper."
"Just following orders"... where have I heared that before?
Ah, but the difference is that we haven't yet seen Louis Freeh being led into the same gas chamber that the Israelis used to send Eichmann to justice. History is written by the winners. Had the Nazis won the Second World War, it would have been U.S. generals and leaders of the World Zionist Congress who would have have been tried and executed. Too soon to tell whether it'll be Freeh and Reno swinging from the end of a rope, or folks like us. I wonder how the SS at Stanford will react to my "Death Penalty for Waco Commander in Chief!" placard? (Such a placard being a free speech statement of what justice I expect for the Ruby Ridge and Waco Commander in Chief, not a personal threat.) --Tim May There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
