I would like to know why Genrl Wesly Clark released Army Tanks to be used at WACO against the Branch Dividians. I believe he was the Base Commander at that time?


Violation of The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 at WACO.

Currently, America's military is largely prohibited from acting as a domestic police force. And while the presence of military "advisors" during the siege, brutality and slaughter at WACO Texas set ominous trends in motion, few thought in terms of its implications.

Actually the current Army CoS had far more to do with Waco then Clark. For years, I also thought Clark violated that Act, but another FReeper named (I think mark502nd) showed me that he did not.
