Always bringing up the murders at the Branch Davidian compound no one knows the truth there..If you ask me the Clinton's, Janet Reno was trying to show their power..They killed little kids and blamed it on the people living in the compound..I am not far from Elk Texas where this happened..If they had of wanted to serve a warrent on David Corresh they could have done that any time in Dallas where he humg out and they knew he went there often..All the had to do was walk in a store and handcuff him..
As for the people there, they worked out in town along other citizens of Waco and surrounding areas and were the nicest hard working people a person would want to meet..
So go to hell NYT I am waiting for the day that paper of yours is shut down..then we will get the last laugh..
Those idiots can cry about David Koresh all they want - every single thing the guy promised his followers came true courtesy of the Clinton administration and Janet Reno.
The NYT has a long history of never letting the facts get in the way of the story the editorial board is trying to tell.
There's no doubt that the entire BATF raid was designed to be a tool used by the administration to increase the power and funding of the agency. A successful raid against a chuch and small community could be made to look like a great victory, especially if they controlled the media. Well, they did control the media, but it turned out to be quite a disaster for everone involved, and it required the deaths of many people in order for the government to spin things the way they wanted it.
You are absolutely correct. From interviews of local law enforcement that I had read, had the BATF raid been about actual, legitimate law enforcement activities, Koresh could have been arrested while out in town. Why was the media invited to the raid? Why, when it became obvious that the raid was NOT going to be a surprise, did the BATF open fire on the church? Where were the front doors to the church, which could give evidence to who opened fire first.
There are a lot of questions that have never been answered.
