Sure it is. The BATF was the lead agency:
o The F.B.I., through the Department of Justice, requested that Texas
Governor Ann Richards allow the use of helicopters from the Texas
National Guard at Waco. Texas law forbids the use of the National
Guard in police action against a citizen of the state, except when
drugs are involved in a criminal action.
But the BATF fabricated a drug charge ("ugh, they're operating a
methamphetamine lab or something huh-huh-huh") to gain the use of the
helicopters. Later, Governor Richards stated publicly that she had
been lied to by the Department of Justice.
Senator: Did the FBI consider delivering Avalon fire-retardant gas?
Reno/FBI: No, how could we deliver it without getting shot?
It's called running another tube out the tank turret, just as was done
for delivering the highly flammable chemical-weapons grade tear gas in
the first place. Use another tank if necessary.
It was that simple.
"We did not know the complex was on fire at first, but we started
smelling smoke. We didn't know what to do.
We were afraid that if we came out of the building, we would be shot.
All of a sudden, the smoke came. I couldn't see my husband any more."
After the whole thing was over, the BATF raised its own flag over
the ruins.
Burn baby burn. 80 men, woman and children.
The official FBI fire plan [their own C-SPAN testimony], which they followed,
was letting them burn.
Janet "Barbecue" Reno. Who testified she would do nothing different again.
Law enforcement gun hysteria.
Like a scene from a nightmarish movie [such as Terry Gilliam's Brazil]
the Feds, while poking holes in the building with a tank snout and spraying
dangerous amounts of toxic tear gas, and while knocking down extended areas
of the compound (as shown and commented on by ABC news) with another tank in
the rear, blared 1984 Newspeak over loudspeakers at the hapless victims:
"THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK. REPEAT THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK."

Re: Unsubscribe broken while you spam this address
And I will tell each of you the same thing I sent to you earlier this week- There is not an email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribed to Gagler's Joke of the Day. Now that we have that established (yet again), did you ever think about this: could there be a different email address one of you subscribed under, which automatically goes to your distribution list? Is there a member of the list's name/email who could be receiving one of our mailings as a subscriber, and that email is automatically forwarded to your distribution list? Look, I asked for *one* copy of one of the daily emails so I can see how the mail server has you subscribed so we can get this taken care of - strangely, each of you would rather just send flame emails than try and correct your problem. When you feel like acting like an adult, please feel free to contact me. Threatening someone who has 300,000+ people on a mailing list who will generally do things as requested, such as myself, with spam is rather stupid, don't you think?

Microsoft DNS back up.
Declan - Microsoft's DNS is back up; the article in The Register http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/16340.html says their problems were due to DNS issues, not security or denial of service attacks. Previous story about it being down http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/16321.html There's much discussion on Slashdot, http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/01/24/1455247mode=thread but not much of it's useful :-) With Microsoft trying last year to push the term "Digital Nervous System" to usurp the acronym DNS, in spite of it being the third or fourth most important aspect of the Internet (and one of the most controversial), having a Digital Nervous Breakdown seems like poetic justice.
