19. General BOYKIN Was Directly Involved- Not Clark

Please make note of this and repeat when necessary...

The rightwing bigot, muslim hater BOYKIN was advising the Feds.

If they confront Clark hopefully he'll let the public know about Boykin.
Please repeat as necessary:

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.
