I was one of those guys.
Be open about it.
And then we went very shortly after that into Waco.
They were very, very close in time.
At that time...
the United States government was mostly focused on domestic terrorism.
When I started with this team, there were 66 foreign terrorist groups in the world.
The PLO, Red Brigades,
There was so many, Al Qaeda was one of them, but there was a huge movement based on a book called the Turner Diaries in the United States, where there was a domestic terrorism interest that was really, really profound at the time.
And out of that movement came Ruby Ridge and came Waco.
Ruby Ridge was started by the United States.
The first agency involved the US Marshal Service, not the FBI.
Waco was ATF.
not the FBI, but there was no backstop in America at that time or today beyond my team, the hostage rescue team.
If everything goes bad, there was nobody else.
That's it.
I mean, you're bringing in the 82nd Airborne, right?
Which you can't do under the posse comitatus.
So both of those things were a different response.
After those, the hearings and everything else, the United States government came back and said, look, no more.
