Waco, 15 years after

Here's a link to my Waco page, established years ago (and never had time to update, so some audio files are out of order). It took 3-4 years of Freedom of Information Act litigation to get the data. I'll give you one teaser....

For months before the first raid, they had agents watching from a house across the street. Watching for the David Koresh that they'd later claim couldn't be arrested peacefully because he was a paranoid recluse.

Guess what the agents did, nine days before the shootout?

They went shooting.

With David Koresh. He brought the ammo, and was unarmed except when one agent loaned him a. 38 Super. It's all in the agents' report for that day. Oh, and it later develops that Koresh *knew* they were undercover agents. In a 911 call, even as the shootout was going on, Koresh refers to one of them by his first name as "your agent" and "the guy you sent out here."

Here's a link to my book on Waco, "This Is Not An Assault."
