I did a good deal of research on Koresh after the fact. The government was smart. They picked someone that it was hard to stand behind.

I'd be curious to know what the sources were for this research. If they were government-related, then you still don't know what was true. But, in either case, did it justify burning all men, women, and children to the ground on the chance that there might be some molestation going on? That gives a whole new meaning to "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" except now it's "burning the baby down with the alleged child rapists."
The government could have snagged Koresh at any time when he left his compound, but instead they launched a military assault which slaughtered everyone. Even if there had been genuine child rapists in there, this method is unacceptable.
