Hillary:  You seem to have considerable dislike for Sheriff Ward.  I'm not sure why.  However, if you focus on his role in the Law Enforcement response to the armed occupation of the Malheur Refuge, I think you'll find he was reasonable, patient, cooperative with the FBI and worked very hard for a peaceful resolution to the seizure and occupation.  The occupation was a federal crime, but had considerable consequences for the local community.  Sheriff Ward, as I mentioned, worked hard and was one of the important elements bringing about the peaceful surrender of the armed occupiers.

Again, if you'd care to list the "errors" or "mistakes" you feel he made, please do.  Baseless personal attacks on him "elected political blow horns"....serve no purpose execpt to vent your anger.
