Janet Reno Weighs in Against War on Terror
Noted libertarian Janet Reno, aka "The Butcher of Waco" — who as Bill Clinton's Attorney General was responsible not only for keeping the law off her boss's back but also for sending in tanks to kill American children in Waco and storm troopers to abduct a Cuban child in Miami so that he could be sent back to the totalitarian hellhole from which his mother had died rescuing him — has weighed in on the War on Terror. She appears to be against it.
Along with other former Justice Department officials, she has filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case of enemy combatant Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, a citizen not of this country but of Qatar, who was arrested for being an al-Qaeda sleeper agent. As he cools his heels in a South Carolina military prison, al-Marri is the only enemy combatant held inside the USA.
Reno and friends want him to be tried in a regular court of law, O.J. style, as if he were a common criminal and not a foreign terrorist.
If foreign al-Qaeda operatives are granted the civilian jury trials to which they are clearly not entitled, the implications should be obvious. Intelligence officials will have to reveal secret information that will cripple efforts to infiltrate terrorist networks. Witnesses will be subject to retaliation. Terrorists wise enough to get themselves arrested in Keith Ellison's district will be found not guilty by reason of sympathetic juries.
Like Jimmy Carter, Reno had her chance to do her job and did not do it well. Now that she no longer holds her position, she ought to hold her tongue.

Of course Reno is against the War on Terror. She is a terrorist.

The parade of idiots continues. There is apparently no extreme of utter incompetence that can cost a liberal their reputation. Reno was absolutely the worst Attorney General this country ever had and should be in jail rather than back in court causing trouble for her betters. Unfortunately, the only time she holds her tongue is when she shaves it.

Didn't she says something like "I take full responsibility . . ." for the Waco incident? What does that really mean when somebody in authority says those words? Was she ever held personally liable for that?

Sorry, "says" should be "say."

I think you meant liberal, not libertarian. Libertarian, Janet Reno is definitely not.

Thule, "libertarian" was meant sarcastically. Although libertarians would probably agree with her war on terror stance.

Reno is a nut case.
