http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2016/01/oregon_standoff_ammon_bundy_de.htmlBURNS A day after Sheriff Dave Ward offered him and his fellow militants safe passage out of Harney County, Ammon Bundy gave a clear response.
"We will take that offer," Bundy said on Friday. "But not yet. And we will go out of this state and out of this county as free men."
Bundy, the leader of a militant group that has taken over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge outside Burns as a protest against the federal government's land-use policies, said he "has a lot of empathy" for Ward.
"He's not in an easy position," Bundy said. "He's being pushed from above by those who want to suppress us.

http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2016/01/oregon_standoff_idaho_militia.htmlBURNS Members of a group from outside Oregon arrived on Friday at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge to "secure a perimeter" around the compound and prevent "a Waco-style situation."
The arrival of the "3% of Idaho" was the latest development in the situation outside Burns, where an armed occupation of the refuge by an Ammon Bundy-led militant group entered its seventh day.
"They just keep an eye on everything that is going on" to make sure "nothing stupid happens," Bundy said Friday afternoon outside refuge headquarters.
"If they weren't here," Bundy said, referring to the Idaho group, "I'd worry" about a Waco-style siege by federal officials.
