Bill Clinton: Child Torturer and Killer
There is more at Volokh, and Dr. Stone's report suggests that some of the infants, toddlers, and children died as a direct result of suffocation caused by the CS gas. President William Jefferson Clinton signed off on a plan that he knew would cause innocent babies and children to suffer the effects of CS gas... in fact, the entire plan hinged upon their torture and suffering. Someone please explain to me why Clinton should not be brought up on felony charges and spend the rest of his life in prison for agreeing to a plan that counted on the torture of 25 innocent infants and children. Convince me that he shouldn't face the death penalty for those that suffocated to death because of his decision. Clinton had the audacity to try to tell us Sunday to be wary of another Timothy McVeigh. Evil bastard that he was, McVeigh's plan didn't hinge on the torture and abuse of children. Bill Clinton's did. His life should end in a federal prison. Sadly, we all know that will never happen.
CS gas was used at the compound, in order, as senior White House adviser George Stephanopoulos said, echoing senior Justice Department statements, to "try and pressure" those in the compound. It was hoped, he said, that as this "pressure was increased, the maternal instincts of the mothers might take over and they might try to leave with their kids" (Washington Times, April 23, 1995). But the FBI knew beforehand that adults in the compound had gas masks; the gas therefore would not put pressure on them. On whom, then? If the FBI knew that the adults had gas masks, but went ahead with the gas attack anyway, it is plain that this "pressure" was brought directly against the children because, as the FBI knew, they could not fit into adult– size gas masks. "Maternal feelings", the FBI hoped, would be unleashed in the mothers by watching their children choking, gasping and blistering from the gas. The plan Reno approved and took to President Clinton for approval contemplated the children choking in the gas unprotected for forty-eight hours if necessary, to produce the requisite "maternal feelings". By taking aim at the children with potentially lethal gas, their mothers would be compelled, according to the FBI plan repeatedly defended by the Clinton administration afterwards as "rational" planning, to flee with them into the arms of those trying to gas them. [Emphasis added.] An independent report on Waco written by the Harvard Professor of Law and Psychiatry, Alan A. Stone, for the then Deputy Attorney General Philip Heymann, says it “is difficult to believe that the US government would deliberately plan to expose twenty-five children, most of them infants and toddlers, to CS gas for forty-eight hours”. Unfortunately, however, that appears to have been exactly the plan. The effect of CS gas on an unprotected infant exposed for only two to three hours is discussed in the report; in that case report, dating from the early 1970s, the child’s symptoms during the first twenty-four hours were upper respiratory; but, within forty-eight hours his face showed evidence of first degree burns, and he was in severe respiratory distress typical of chemical pneumonia. The infant had cyanosis, required urgent positive pressure pulmonary care, and was hospitalized for twenty– eight days. Other signs of toxicity appeared, including an enlarged liver. Professor Stone's report is measured, careful and damning.

Acetone vapors are highly flammable. The next thing anyone knew, a massive fire erupted. Surprised?
A small spark, whether from an older telephone ringing, or from a handheld pyrotechnic device
(I wonder who could have ordered to toss or fire a flare into the building?) could have set the blaze a'burning.
Slick and his pug Reno should be tried for murder- the assault on the Davidians was for an alleged tax violation! That charge was never substantiated, BTW, but the local LEO was shoved aside, and we know what happened after the fibbies took over from the ATF.
As for the use of National Guard tracked vehicles and helicopters? After all these years, this skunk still stinks to high Heaven.

I think Clinton knew someone was digging up this dirt and his comments were a pre-emptive redirect to cut the knees out from any report. I think Dick Morris knew it, too, but is too mindful of his career to come out with it.

At the time I condemned Reno and Clinton from just common sense analysis; what is scary is that my neighbors and associates didnot! They thought he crazies deserved to die. Alas, a tribute to the the success of the demoncratic party's spin machine.
