That he finally settled on Janet Reno, Dade County, Florida prosecutor, with no executive experience, says perhaps all that need be said, in view of her performance in office

FBI Director Louis Freeh, who jointly ran the siege with Reno
4.
Attorney General Janet Reno ordered an assault
5.
But Clinton did approve the final assault in the siege, kept Reno in spite of her deadly incompetence, and defended her actions and his own afterward
6.
The deaths may have been more directly caused by Janet Reno, but Clinton could and should have halted her from carrying out the raid
7.
Did Reno seriously think Koresh was assaulting young girls while suffering from a severe belly wound? Most evidence points towards ATF leaders wanting a high profile success in a gun prosecution case, hoping the capture of the Davidians would rescue their image
8.
Louis Freeh remained Director of the FBI and Reno remained Attorney General for five more years, the rest of Clinton's time in office
9.
Both Higgens and Reno, plus the ATF planners on the site of the original raid, should have faced strong consequences, perhaps even trial for the almost 80 deaths caused by their negligence
10.
By the time they reached Reno, all three of them were ready to spend time out of the car
11.
Below, the privates and Reno charged
12.
He watched as the defeated Reno called
13.
Reno moved first, hurling himself into the air with tremendous

causing Reno to stumble backwards
15.
Defenceless and blinded by the sudden blow, Reno was
16.
through the grilled floor as Reno used all his techniques to evade
17.
Reaching down to grab Reno, he saw
18.
As Cloud tumbled to his knees, Reno
19.
With the last few steps before the edge, Reno

Reno stared at the blank white ceiling of the infirmary with

He’s not the Vice President anymore, thought Reno with a

Reno knew the

“What about Corneo?” asked Reno, his lips narrowing as he
25.
Reno was still undecided on his impressions of the two after the

” Rude interrupted, staring at Reno

” Reno commanded, reading the confused

After that, I filed the necessary papers in Carson City (yes, it, not either Reno or Las Vegas) is the capital of NV

Moreover, Miss Reno

“Last time I checked, Reno,” A

Once on the road, we had no plan to stop until Reno

Once we reached city limits of Reno I had still seen no

Reno, Nevada was a good, safe route

The client was supposed to drive over to Reno, Nevada

highway was fast, being the preferred route from Reno to Vegas
37.
Haskins and Sells had offices in both Las Vegas and Reno
38.
Rude grabbed Reno, trying to get him to let loose of the man, but his jaw was set tight in the way that a bulldog's would be
39.
Reno is one of the strongest people I have ever met
40.
Reno had been left sleeping when Cloud had gone to see Tifa, but none knew of the internal conversation going on
41.
Morning came to find Reno leaning against the wall on the balcony of he and Cloud's apartment, watching the sun come up with all of the wonder of a child gleaming in the teal eyes
42.
“It's time for breakfast, Reno
43.
” The promise, spoken quietly and in a tone that said he was hopeful that Reno would be well again
44.
He'd left Reno with Rude
45.
” If there was one thing Reno had taught Cloud, it was how to laugh at himself, and it was something he was grateful for every day
46.
She knew Reno, and she knew that he wasn't that bad a person, but he was still ShinRa, he still represented everything that since her Father's death she had come to despise
47.
Cloud will fight for us because of Reno, but will he be enough? I do not know
48.
This was one of the times that he was more grateful than he could say for the influence that Reno seemed to have with all of those he was close to
49.
He knew the man cared about Reno as much as he did, and he trusted him to watch over the redhead and make sure he didn't hurt himself
50.
but I want to do my best by Reno, he deserves it
51.
But what does Reno have to do with this, Aerith? I don't understand
52.
I agree, it does have to be stopped, but Reno will play an integral part in stopping it, as he's the last living one of the old bloodline
53.
Granted, Rude does not normally do the absolutely idiotic things normally that Reno typically does when he's angry, but it's still not the safest situation and one I would have preferred to avoid
54.
Reno sat straight up in the bed, eyes going wide with a curious expression as his senses went wild
55.
Cloud groaned, blue eyes fluttering open as the light that Reno was giving off penetrated the closed parchment thin lids
56.
The energy wound a bit more about Reno until he sensed Cloud's presence and stopped humming, the droplets simply falling to the floor like rain and then fading away as he did
57.
” Cloud shook himself free of the spell, but he still stared at Reno in utter dumbstruck wonder, still not sure that he had really seen what he had thought he had seen
58.
Reno blinked as there was a sudden change in his face and his posture, though something sparked inside of him
59.
Reno shivered at the sensations that those long fingers evoked, but that look was one that even in his still fragmented state he understood
60.
the pearlescent droplets on the tip of the long shaft that he'd known so very well telling of how much Reno was loving this
61.
The former trooper was not expecting that this would last forever, he knew that mentally Reno still had a lot of healing to do
62.
The radio played in the bedroom, Reno had taken to falling asleep with it on because it had always soothed his frazzled nerves when the memories of all of the bad things he'd done haunted him, and what played was perfect for this single shining moment in wish all of it had fit together just right
63.
Neither he nor Reno had any idea that it had been the presence of Phoenix that had allowed that temporary mending
64.
The next morning Cloud went to see Rufus while Reno was still sleeping
65.
Cloud described in detail the way Reno had been humming, then the power that had come from him and wound around him
66.
” Now, Cloud couldn't say he trusted Rufus entirely still, but he knew how much Reno meant to the man, and the President wouldn't do anything to harm the redhead
67.
“I am assuming he was still well out when you left to come see me?” He was pretty sure after Cloud had found Reno in the shower that he wouldn't have left the redhead alone unless he was thoroughly out
68.
Reno is stronger than anyone gives him credit to, Doctor Kimiko
69.
Reno woke as Cloud came back into the house, his face holding the vacant expression that it had since the events at the auditorium once more
70.
It wasn't as if Reno could help it for the time being, anyway
71.
Still, even with the distant look the way that Reno moved was beautiful to him, the sway of the slim hips, the way the slender throat bobbed when he swallowed
72.
He pulled the redhead in for one sweet embrace, and he smiled when Reno didn't stiffen at the touch but instead leaned back into it with a look of wonder
73.
He had watched Reno be affected by being able to feel as Meteor killed the ones who got caught out in its effects
74.
” Reno was watching the massive space rock approaching
75.
” he said, softly, quietly, not just fear but resignation filling Reno
76.
” Rude recognized the presence just as well as Reno did
77.
” came the soft exclamation, before Reno threw his arms around his partner and let out a hoot
78.
“Come on, Reno
79.
Rude ended up talking with Cloud while Elena visited with Reno, shaking his head as he talked to him about what his uncle had told him
80.
this one a few months after the first time he and Reno had gotten together
81.
Reno just seemed to have this way about him, and Cloud didn't always understand it
82.
A few hours later, after his visit with Reno and Cloud, he found himself in Rufus' office, standing at parade rest in front of the wide black desk, the one that had once belonged to the old President
83.
Reno turned to Cloud then as he stopped, looking down at the weapons strapped to him confused
84.
The nightmares had been ones that the Wutain had witnessed, and he hated seeing it, for all that he had driven Reno hard due to the potential he'd seen in the young man even that Reno himself had not seen, he cared about him, deeply
85.
somewhere, deep inside, the part of Reno that was still him struggled to come to the surface as he rested on the sofa
86.
But a time was coming when it would have to be, and tha tiny bit of unharmed spirit, the spark that had kept Reno going when all others would have broken, knew it
87.
why do people do such things?” the question was one that Reno had thought for years, but only due to the state he was in would he ask
88.
As Reno sipped the cocoa, Cloud looked over at Rude, sighing
89.
Reno knew this for who it was, no matter whose face or voice she wore
90.
The slender body ached, just as one would expect when someone had channeled the amount of sheer power that Reno had, included two places along his shoulder blades
91.
Since when do I got wings? Reno did not remember but bits and snippets of the battle that happened out there, from the moment that Cloud had been killed until now was for the most a blur
92.
” Reno leaned against Cloud's chest, listening to that precious heartbeat, his eyes closing
