Harvard professor critical of Waco complex gassing
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The FBI's impulse to act and its disregard of advice from its own negotiators led to the Waco cult disaster that killed up 85 people, including 25 children, an outside expert concluded Monday.
Alan Stone, a dissenter on a panel that looked into the April 19 tragedy, stated that "the gut instinct that prevailed at Waco was the law enforcement mind-set, the action-control imperative."
The FBI ended negotiations with the religious cult by firing tear gas into the Branch Davidian compound.
law and psychiatry.
A view within the FBI and in official reports "suggests the tragedy was unavoidable," but "this report is a disenting opinion from that view," wrote Stone, a Harvard professor of
It's unclear, Stone wrote, whether the FBI told Attorney General Janet Remo that bureau officials "had rejected the advice of their own experts in behavioral science and negotiation, or whether the AG was told that FBI negotiators believed they could get more people out of the compound by negotiation.
"By the time the AG made her decision, the noose was closed and, as one agent told me, the FBI believed they had 'three options — gas, gas and gas,' Stone said.
Stone criticized the firing of CS gas into the Branch Davidian complex — pointing to evidence that it is extremely harmful to children.
The Justice Department, an outside evaluator and nine other experts issued their findings five weeks ago.
Stone said he reviewed their work and conducted additional studies. The department hired him and other consultants to recommend how to deal with similar cases in the future.
Given what he has learned about CS gas, Stone wrote, "It is difficult to understand why a person whose primary concern was the safety of the children would agree to the FBI's plan."
He said the information Reno received on CS gas "seems to minimize the potential harmful consequences for infants and children."
Although Stone raised the possibility that some of the children who suffocated in the complex's bunker could have been felled by the gas, Justice Department spokesman Carl Stern said there was no evidence of that.
Two blocs hold key to NAFTA vote
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—As President Clinton lobbies feverishly for the North American Free Trade Agreement, two blocks have emerged as crucial: the maverick House freshman class and a group of Democratic veterans torn between their president and longtime labor allies.
Also being aggressively courted by Clinton and other administration officials were a half-dozen members of the Congressional Black Caucus whose votes were still in play as today's NAFTA vote drew near.
Clinton's calendar for Sunday and yesterday was loaded with NAFTA lobbying: White House meetings with undecided lawmakers as well as phone calls to House members who are opposed or leaning against the pact but considered "persuadable" by the White House.
Clinton called in a bipartisan group of governors yesterday in hopes that they could sway wavering House members from their states.
With that in mind, here is a look at some of the critical blocs:
An Associated Press count showed NAFTA opponents with the edge, but victory not beyond Clinton's reach. White House aides said privately they expected the undecided bloc to break in Clinton's favor.
Should that occur, putting Clinton closer to the 218 votes needed for victory, veteran House Democrats would be the group to watch. A handful have told the White House they would prefer to vote against NAFTA but would help Clinton if their votes were essential.
Even with those pledges Clinton aides said they were still roughly 10 votes short.
—HOUSE FRESHMEN: Democratic Rep. Martin Meehan of Massachusetts endorsed NAFTA yesterday, leaving 10 freshmen undecided; three Democrats and seven Republicans. Six more, five of them Democrats, said they were "learning against" NAFTA but not certain.
—BLAKC CAUCUS: Two members of the caucus, freshman Rep. Mel Reynolds of Chicago and Rep. Floyd Flake of New York, remained publicly undecided as of yesterday. Both are Clinton loyalists, but both are from districts where organized labor is powerful.
Reynolds had a meeting with Clinton scheduled for today, and he sounded as if he was leaning in favor.
Beyond Reynolds and Flake, five other Black Caucus members said they were leaning against NAFTA were considered "persuadables" by the White House.
"The guys at the Chicago Federation of Labor have been trying to intimidate me, and that's not the way to go with me," Reynolds said.
—DEMOCRATIC VETERANS: The importance of this group was evident yesterday as senior Clinton adviser David Gergen showed up for lunch with Missouri Rep. Ike Skelton moments after he announced his support. two other Clinton targets in this group, Norman Mineta of California and Romano Mazzoli of Kentucky, also endorsed NAFTA yesterday.
But another, New Jersey Rep. Robert Torricelli, announced he would oppose the treaty.
