Janet Wood Reno (July 21, 1938 – November 7, 2016) was an American lawyer who served as the Attorney General of the United States from 1993 until 2001. President Bill Clinton nominated Reno on February 11, 1993, and the Senate confirmed her the following month. She was the first woman to serve as Attorney General and the second-longest serving Attorney General in U.S. history, after William Wirt.
Reno was born and raised in Miami, Florida. After leaving to attend Cornell University and Harvard Law School, she returned to Miami where she started her career at private law firms. Her first foray into government was as a staff member for the Judiciary Committee of the Florida House of Representatives. She then worked for the Dade County State Attorney's Office before returning to private practice. She was elected to the Office of State Attorney five times.

SSgt Joseph Baptist - I think the reason was valid. If they had not done something, we may have had another Jonestown, or worse.
Thus, the reason was valid, the conduct was a disaster.

SSgt Joseph Baptist - Agree with you. In this case the Feds fullfilled the religious groups beliefs of armageddon of the Feds taking away all their rights and hauling them off to jail in a kind of religious persecution. The Feds turned a simple arms violation into a religious holy war type standoff. I disagree that Reno had nothing to do with it. She admitted herself she was involved directly with events on the ground and issued approvals for various aggressive ground tactics leading to the massive loss of life.

SSgt Joseph Baptist - I find it interesting that when a cop shoots a person, the right calls it performing his duty, but here where it is the Federal government, they blame the law enforcement agents.
