FBI shifts to measured stance seen reducing future extremism
The FBI credits reforms pushed by Director Louis Freeh for the peaceful end to the Freemen standoff and for lowering risks of future shootouts like Ruby Ridge and Waco. Critics and supporters agree the bureau's calmer, lawful approach discourages dissident groups, while Specter remains critical of ATF’s role.
