PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) In the war against terrorism, the Bush administration has failed to balance the scales of liberty and security, former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno told a packed audience Monday night at Brown University.

After watching President Bush's address, Reno said, ''We will not solve the world's problems by might.''

"We will not solve the world's problems by might."

"Unless it involves people I don't like. Especially if they live in Waco and I'm in a bad mood."

Here's what Janet Reno said after feeling a wave of guilt for her eight years in office:

"What has happened to the Bill of Rights? What has happened to due process?"

No, wait, that's what she said about Bush.

Janet preferred to use "might" on Americans in Waco and in Florida.

What lies the AP spins! (surprise, surprise -- NOT!)

Janet el Reno didn't lose to "the President's brother," she lost to McBride. Janet didn't even make it through her own party's primary.

Such (*&#$%(&s the AP writers are, to think they can rewrite history under our noses!

"Might"...What the hell was it when she used tanks and fire on little kids in Waco. The people that listened to her drivel should be ashamed.

I can't decide who is the more disgraceful ex-Attorney General, Janet Reno or Ramsey Clark. This nation must certainly be resilient to have survived the likes of them. I get sick every time I think of them at the head of our Dept. of Justice. What damage they must have inflicted on our country...

Ok, Janet. Why did you:

1. Order federal agents to take Waco by "force"?
2. Order federal agents to "forcefully" take Elian Gonzalez from his uncle and return him to a communist dictator?

OH. My bad. You only solve DOMESTIC problems by might. Gotcha.

It's ok to use the force of the U.S. against women and children but not against dicatorial butchers.

My sentiments exactly, tho' you're more polite.

Where was this nasty old hag when the Clintons brought constant shame to the people's White House?

Hypocracy on this scale should be a capital offense.

While I agree with you in concept, I still believe it was the Clintons who gave the order in Waco, and Reno was the "patsy".

I can still remember Janet saying "I take full responsibility for Waco." I can also remember her saying that she talked to the President and he said "Do it".

Janet Reno is a stupid, stupid, ignorant spokes(man)? to be spewing her ugly American remarks about the use of "might." Go away, Janet, your 15 minutes of fame were up a long time ago!

I never allowed my children to say it, but lately I side with the folks who are saying:

"JUST SHUT UP!!"

With the exception of solving the world's problems of facism, totalitarianism, communism, despotism, genocide, dicatorships, evil, and a few others, she's absolutely right. (/sarcasm)

Anyone with ethics would have resigned before giving the order to take down the building. She was a willing patsy!
