Just ran across this newsflash on Conservativenews.org. Initially, I was pleased with Miss Reno's appointment of Sen. Danforth. Now, it's starting to look Clintonesque. Read on.
Dowd Appointment "Fatal Flaw" in Danforth Probe?
(CNSNews.com) - Conservatives and Republicans concerned about the independence of the Waco investigation fear that former Missouri Republican Senator John Danforth has made a "potentially fatally-flawed decision" in appointing former US Attorney Edward Dowd as his lead investigator. Dowd is presently under investigation for using taxpayer funds to help defeat Missouri's Proposition B, a right-to-carry referendum that was narrowly defeated in April. Dowd is accused of using taxpayer funds to send letters opposing the referendum, and using government employees to man a toll-free number that gave information on how to oppose Proposition B. Many observers fear that Dowd's partisan activities on gun issues may taint the probe into events that took place at Waco. "In light of the political biases Mr. Dowd has demonstrated in the past, the Law Enforcement Alliance of America adamantly opposes his appointment to such a crucial position within the investigative team," said LEAA executive director Jim Fotis, who also called the decision to appoint Dowd "potentially fatally-flawed."
