So Reno was the only one in the entire clinton administration who would make that kind of decision without clinton's approval? There were men on his cabinet with more power than she ever had who wouldn't make any final decisions without clinton's ok.
According to the film, one aspect that was repeated, and with no apparent objection from clinton or his minions in their censorship mode, was that clinton made all final decisions as to any attack plans. One has to believe this also held true when it came to the attack on Waco.
