What was Holder up to during "Ruby Ridge" and "Branch Davidian" raid?
I'm pretty sure Holder had no involvement in either.
The Ruby Ridge outrage actually occurred during the Bush 41 administration, not the Clinton administration (it was in mid-1992). It's easy to forget that because that attack was part of the 1990s right-wing case against federal power and because most of the fallout happened under Clinton (the investigation, lawsuits, firings of FBI agents and the like), but that was all Bush 41.
Waco was 1993. At the time, Holder was the U.S. Attorney for DC and would have had no involvement. He didn't move to the DOJ until 1997, when he became Janet Reno's Deputy AG.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
