WASHINGTON - An Army division commanded by Wesley Clark (news - web
sites) supplied some of the military equipment for the government's
51-day standoff with a religious sect in Waco, Texas, and Clark's
deputy, now the Army Chief of Staff, took part in a crucial Justice
Department (news - web sites) meeting five days before the siege ended
in disaster, according to military records.
(...)
Clark's assistant division commander at the time, Peter J. Schoomaker,
met with Attorney General Janet Reno (news - web sites) and other
officials from the Justice Department and FBI five days before the
siege ended with the fatal fire.
Taylor says that "anything Schoomaker did, he wasn't doing for Clark."
Internal Army documents support Taylor's position.
The Justice Department and the FBI requested Schoomaker and William
Boykin "by name to meet with the attorney general," states one
internal Army document created before the meeting. "These soldiers
have extensive special operations experience and have worked with the
FBI on previous occasions. Schoomaker "told my watch NCO ... that the
FBI plans to pick him up at Fort Hood and fly him first to Waco to
assess the situation, and then on to Washington D.C.," states the
internal Army document. Schoomaker, currently the Army Chief of Staff,
has a background in Army Special Forces. Boykin, who has similar
experience, is the Army general whose controversial church speeches
cast the war on terrorism in religious terms, prompting recent calls
from some in Congress for him to step down.
At the meeting with Reno, Schoomaker and Boykin refused an invitation
to assess the plan to inject tear gas into the buildings, a move
designed to force the Davidians to flee the compound, an internal Army
document states.
"We can't grade your paper," one of the two Special Forces officers
was quoted as telling the Justice Department and the FBI. The comment
referred to the legal restrictions prohibiting direct participation in
civilian law enforcement operations.
McNulty, whose documentary "Waco: The Rules of Engagement" won an Emmy
in 1998, provided The AP with several internal Army documents
referring to the meeting and obtained from the military under the
Freedom of Information Act.

What we have here, friends and neighbors is a massacre on American

Senator 'admits Vietnam massacre'
The US is still dealing with the aftermath of the Vietnam conflict
Former United States Senator Bob Kerry, a possible contender for the
White House in 2004, has admitted that his commando unit massacred
civilians when he was a Navy officer in Vietnam, The New York Times
has reported.
Mr Kerry was awarded a Bronze Star for the 25 February 1969 action in
the village of Thanh Phong in the Mekong Delta.
Basically you're talking about a man who killed innocent civilians
Bob Kerry
The two-time Democratic senator from Nebraska says his unit of seven
Navy Seals - elite commando troops - killed at least 13 women and
children during indiscriminate night-time firing.
One of the men under his command at the time disputes Mr Kerry's
version of events, claiming that the unit rounded up the civilians and
killed them to hasten their escape.
Mr Kerry refused to contradict the man, saying their memories
differed.
