A large part of the responsibility for Attica lies with the man who ordered the police into the prison to begin with--Vice President Nelson Rockefeller. Even the McKay Commission concluded that Rockefeller "should not have committed the state's armed forces against the rebels without first appearing on the scene and satisfying himself that there was no other alternative and that all precautions against excessive force had been taken."
