 But I wonder who really believes Ashcroft is being absolutely genuine
 in his responses to Feinstein?

In the last election in Texas when G.W. Bush was running for 
governor he was accused by his opponent of only using the 
governvorship of Texas as a base to run for the presidency of the 
US.  He promised to serve a full term.

If the boss doesn't live up to promises why should the troops??

Reno probably didn't expect the situation to, um, blow up in her face.

It is also undisputed that if they wanted to avoid a show of force, they 
could have nabbed Koresh during his jogs around the property line or 
whatnot in the morning. Reese, you blather too much.

oh geez.  Why was it necessary to bring in tanks, special forces and
gunships for overflights?  Why, when if all they wanted was koresh,
all they had to do was wait for him to go to town again, and snatch
him off the street as he walked down the sidewalk?

Who benefited from this "necessary" show of how forcefully Reno et al.
could burn wooden buildings with people inside them?  Yeah-yeah, the
evidence is contested, re: who started the fires.  What isn't contested
is the armored vehicles poking gun muzzles through the walls.

I also believe that neither Waco nor Ruby Ridge were expected to go 
down as they did. Neither Reno nor Clinton gained anything from these 
debacles.

What I fault is the general trend toward "militarizing the police," 
especially the trend toward using federal police instead of local 
sheriffs and law enforcement. In both cases, Waco and Ruby Ridge, 
local law enforcement was bypassed, even "kept out of the loop." This 
should not be acceptable in a constitutional republic consisting of 
states.

There are also fundamental problems with the War on Some Weapons, the 
War on Some Drugs, and the War on Some Religions. Claims that Randy 
Weaver had sawed an inch or so off a shotgun, part of an entrapment 
by Feds who wanted his cooperation in other matters, tell us how 
close we are coming to being a police state (though we are not yet 
there in any plausible sense). Claims that David Koresh was mingling 
in unapproved ways with young women, or was selling weapons illegally 
(never proved, even after the ashes had been sifted), should have 
been handled locally, not by calling in federal ninjas.

As for Ashcroft, we'll see. Bush won, so Bush gets to appoint his 
staff. The whole "review by the Senate" thing is a relic of the 
McCarthy era, actually, and should be done away with.

Advice and consent of the Senate as to federal officers has been in the
Constitution from the outset, and the only time an appointee to an 
incoming President's cabinet was rejected was John Tower, long after
the McCarthy era.

$50,000 in 90 days

2001-01-20 Thread Will

Dear Friend:

AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV:

Make over a half million dollars ($500,000+) every 4 to 5 months from your
home for an investment of only $25 U.S. Dollars - one time!

THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET!



BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!

Before you say "Bull", please read the following. This is the letter you
have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity of this
letter on the internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an
entire show to the investigation of this program described below, to see if
it really can make people money.

The show also investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their
findings proved once and for all that there are "absolutely no laws
prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can follow the
simple instructions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with only $25
out of pocket cost".

DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY  RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS
ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER.

This is what one had to say:

"Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before
but each time I passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see 
what
one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my
astonishment, I received a total of $610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money
still coming in." Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, NJ



Here is another testimonial:

"This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it.
But one day when I received this again in the mail, I decided to gamble my
$25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and walaa.3 weeks later the
money started to come in. First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2
months after that I made a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 
8months by re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am
playing it again. The key to success in this program is to follow the 
simple
steps and NOT change anything."

More testimonials later but first,

** PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE **



If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months easily and
comfortably, please read the following.THEN READ IT AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!



FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL 
COME
TRUE, GUARANTEED!

INSTRUCTIONS:

 Order all 5 reports shown on the list below.

 For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME  NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE
ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name appears ON THAT
LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE
TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems.

 When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5 reports.
You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer and
resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5 = $25.00.

 Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the 5 reports
from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer so they will
be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them
from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep it on your desk in
case something happens to your computer.

 IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next 
to
each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than what is
instructed below in steps 1 through 6 or you will lose out on a majority of
your profits. Once you understand the way this works, you will also see how
it does not work if you change it.

Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it, it will 
NOTwork!!! People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all 
five
thinking they could get all the money. But it does not work this way.
Believe us, we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing happened. So, 
DO
NOT try to change anything other than what is instructed. Because if you 
do,
it will not work for you. Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!!

1. After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and REMOVE
the name  address of the person in REPORT #5. This person has made it
through the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune.

2. Move the name  address in REPORT #4 down TO REPORT #5.

3. Move the name  address in REPORT #3 down TO REPORT #4.

4. Move the name  address in REPORT #2 down TO REPORT #3.

5. Move the name  address in REPORT #1 down TO REPORT #2.

6. Insert YOUR name  address in the REPORT #1 Position.

PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name  address ACCURATELY!



Take this entire letter, with the modified list of names, and save it on
your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. Save this on a disk as well
just in case you lose
