Janet Reno can't seem to stop stoking the fires of the Waco conspiracy theory. On one hand, she is reported to be pushing for an independent inquiry into the debacle; on the other, she appears to be trying to stop the facts from coming out. While the attorney general was reported Wednesday to be searching for a qualified outsider to lead an investigation, her department also filed a motion Tuesday challenging U.S. District Judge Walter Smith?s right to claim custody of all evidence relating to the siege collected at the Branch Davidian compound. Judge Smith, whose district...
...another swig. My dad has been having trouble keeping relationships straight for a few months now. At his worst point, after a fall last September, he thought I was his mother.

...political process, seeking to curb even moderate Islamic parties. "The poor government response to the quake may help the Islamists, who appeal to people who are alienated and are extremely good at winning supporters by providing welfare," says TIME correspondent Lisa Beyer from Istanbul. "On the other hand, this government has only been in power for only three months, and its not as if the Islamists aren?t equally responsible for allowing poor construction in municipalities under their control. The population is unlikely to tolerate any divisiveness." While that cuts against any attempts by the Islamists to capitalize on government...
