Gosh, I wonder if that could have anything to do with the lack of information concerning the ballistics report, lo, all this time since the event, and after "ATF Senior Special Agent Nicole Strong said pieces of evidence from the Waco Twin Peaks cases were taken to an ATF lab in Walnut Creek, California, and are being given top priority over other cases."

So who told you to clam up, Nicole?

I also note with disappointment that staffers for Sen. Chuck Grassley outright lied to me, and never contacted me with more information despite promising to do so. What an example of political gutlessness, by both Judiciary and Oversight, to not even ask a damn question.

Of course, getting his people to do the right thing has always been like pulling teeth, requiring saying the hell with genteel protocols and creating a public record to force the issue.
