For me, the bottom line is that the raid was unnecessary. There were more than threescore Americans, including young children, who were shot, gassed, crushed and burnt to death.
The siege and killing of the Davidians was a grotesque massacre.
IIRC, Koresh would go into town, alone and unarmed, quite regularly.
The Feds had plenty of opportunities to pick him up.
That they failed or refused to do so, is clearly malfeasance on their part.
