	Ten Years Ago In Waco Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Has it been ten years already?


I was a senior in High School watching TV thinking what in the hell were there they thinking. Stuff like this makes me feel old.

I thought it's been more than ten years. That would make me 13 at the time...thought I was younger...

Waco was a bunch of wacked out cultists who decided to shot a few cops then lite themselves and their families on fire. Really ****ed up ****.

Containment was working until the BATF determined that regime change was necessary.

Well here is a comment from one of nine survivors

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/09/09/waco/

quote: Sept. 9, 1999 | Attorney General Janet Reno says she's "very, very frustrated" over recent revelations that the FBI fired explosive devices at the Mount Carmel community outside of Waco, Texas, during the April 1993 siege. I know how Reno feels. I was one of only nine survivors of the Waco blaze -- 74 men, women and children died -- and I've devoted the last six years to understanding what happened there. Frustration is a mild word to describe my feelings about that quest. Reno's frustration, and mine, has only gotten worse recently as more damaging revelations have surfaced. First there was the CIA agent who told Salon News and the Dallas Morning News that members of the Army's secret Delta Force unit had actively participated in the siege. Then the FBI turned over tape recordings that include audio of an agent requesting and receiving permission to use pyrotechnic devices. Reports on Wednesday revealed the government also used incendiary flares during the Waco siege similar to those used to burn down the hideout of white supremacist Robert Mathews.

ah well 10 years... we are getting old

While I generally believe in non violence, I think they attacked the wrong compound.

The people living in a compound outside of Crawford, Texas in the same county are the really dangerous ones.
