On the subject of the Philadelphia bombing, it might do well
to remember the last time the Philly police had a run in with
these folks five years ago.  At the time, the police laid siege
to the house and it lasted 55 days.  Toward the end, one policeman
was killed as he tried to approach the house.  The fire department
opened fire with a super pumper to try and flood the occupants
out.  Move members retaliated by shooting four firemen.  Its no wonder
the fire department was reluctant to put out the flames in this
incident, although they did perhaps underreact by not calling
in more equipment when they saw the fire get out of control to
the extent that it did.
