"In 1993, 74 law-abiding citizens, including their children, died in Waco, Texas, on her orders. Nine months earlier, at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, Randy Weaver's son and wife were killed by men following her commands. "

Wrong timeline. Reno killed the people in Waco on 4/19/93, yes, but 9 months earlier klyntyn wasn't even president yet let alone Reno AG.

Someone didn't do their homework.

Such a mistake means I'm not bothering to follow link to original article.

Sloppy.

It's too bad the anonymous author shoots himself in the foot by attributing the Ruby Ridge incident to Reno when it was clearly before her tenure.

The bigger mistake may be in accepting the conventional wisdom, going back to the day of the Waco massacre, that it was Reno's decision...she obviously took the blame to spare Bill Clinton (and was thereafter untouchable as long as he was in office), but who really decided to attack? Hillary would be my guess.

That indeed is sloppy, but I still want to follow the story.

You are right - Reno had nothing to do with ordering the black helicopters into Ruby Ridge. Daddy Bush was still Prez at that time. Reno was responsible for the investigation and settlement that followed once she was AG.
