That was my thinking too. I'll have to be honest with you though, after Waco I realized the FBI wasn't much better than the BATF, if at all.

Both agencies soiled themselves during that fiasco. I'm not exhonerating anyone from the justifiable criticism they deserve, including the Davidians, but as a law enforcement agency you have to conduct yourself in a professional above reproach manner. Sadly, I don't think either agency came even close.

Koresh may have been a nut, that doesn't give government agencies the right to act nutty.

Koresh may have been a nut...

There are a lot of odd people in this world, and only a very very small percentage are dangerous. It's a very open question whether Branch Davidians were all that nutty. "Branch Davidian" mean they are a splinter group of Seventh Day Adventists. Ooooooo, that sounds dangerous! Better burn them!

What next? Surrounding charismatic Lutheran sects with tanks?
