www.washingtonpost.com ^ | September 10, 2003; 5:30 PM | Associated Press

SOUR LAKE, Texas - A former federal prosecutor who successfully defended the government in a lawsuit filed by surviving members of the Waco cult was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A police officer found the body of former U.S. Attorney J. Michael Bradford on Tuesday after checking on an abandoned car in the woods near Sour Lake, about 20 miles from Beaumont. The body and a shotgun were about 75 feet away. The wound was apparently self-inflicted, Sheriff Ed Cain said.

Um, I don't doubt that it's possible, even probable, that what you suspect is true. I was attributing it to Hillary directly, not Clark.

I believe that there is a silent, and very stealth, mob which "takes care" of the Clintons without the Clintons ever having to issue an order. The Clintons are definitely smart enough to make sure that they are completely insulated from any "wet work". They will always have plausible deniability, and indeed, I bet they are mildly amused at all the "fortuitous" suicides which take place around them. Clark runs in the same circle as the Clintons. I'm sure he knows nothing about anything.

Regards,
LH

What crime was it that Koresh was being charged with? I mean it's not like he and the county sherriff were not on speaking terms. They first floated child abuse.....They next floated weapons charges of which Koresh was the holder of a Federal Firearms Dealer and was within the law and licensed by the same government to posess said weapons....Next they claimed he was cooking meth, hence the justification for military involvement.....

Exactly which crimes were terrorizing the community which could no longer be tolerated? The county sherriff had said that the charges leveled by the feds were nonsense.

The angle I had heard long ago was that Koresh had bought hundreds of acres of land on back tax sales. That land was being grazed by cattle which were owned by a friend of Hillary(cattle future) and Koresh was demanding grazing fees or per head rental of grazing rights. Somewhere in the $20,000 range over a five year period. Instead of paying, the friend of Hillary's called in his $100,000 favor and it quickly spun out of control with all the alphabet soup agency love fest for Clinton's admiration. Then stepped in Wesley Clarke.

"What crime was it that Koresh was being charged with?"

Remember after the place was burned and they showed all the illegal weapons that were discovered inside? Oh, you don't? Funny, neither do I. No crying foul over missing weapons of mass detruction that time, was there?

Man, don't even get me started on Lon Horiuchi.

Even at that, Koresh was a federally licensed firearms dealer. He was a government sponsored and approved arms merchant!

Like charging a bar owner with serving alchohol.......

It's really odd the way the media ignores all the details like facts, dates, legal documents, witnesses, physical evidence, bulldozing crime scenes, unplugging the refrigeration units in morgues so that autopsy's cannot be done on liquified bodies, and on and on and on......

It's like something evil overtakes the souls of those wanting to be charmed by the glow of the flame. I really mean evil at it's most base form and shape too.

I'll never forget watching Sonny Bono quietly cry and hide from camera's during the Waco hearings. His unspoken testimony was so powerful, I'm sure that same evil got even in some strange way. That evil seems to do it's best for the Clinton's and I wonder at what cost?

It's freaky!

Lon has a cushy Quantico desk job and the other one who's name slips me who did Weaver's wife and baby and dogs was promoted into some obscure high level FBI post in New York City. Potts!......That's it I think. His last name was Potts, or Potter, or something close.

Oh yes, and then Ms. Reno charged "Child abuse" against the Davidians......she yelled child abuse every chance she could, even in Miami where she fought to save the children. Just who is it that committed child abuse?

Larry Potts - promoted to deputy director in May, 1995. This drew such heat that Freeh retracted the promotion.

Koresh wasn't being charged with a crime.

It was a search warrant.

Carlos Ghigliotti dissolved while preparing FLIR evidence of 200 shots fired into the building.

Who trumpeted the pronouncement of Ghigliotti's "death by natural causes"?

Gerald Posner.

Who was Mike Wallace's hatchet boy against Christopher Ruddy in the 60 Minutes Vince Foster smear of Ruddy.

There's a lot of things in the Clinrton administration that stink to high Heaven. Waco is near the top of the list.

I'd love to see a copy of that warrant! From what the local Leo's said, Koresh was quite approachable and that they had been inside his domicile on several occasions over the years. They also stated that if they had been able to be the ones knockin on the door that things would have gone down a whole lot differently.

If I were Ashcroft I would send Horriuchi and Potts to Pakistan to go work their wares on Bin Laden. They'd be alive for about a day. They are equipped to deal with us the enemy not them the enemy. As is the whole alphabet soup.
