Nearly 24 years after the Branch Davidian standoff began near Waco, some federal agents are opening up about their experiences that resulted in the worst day in the history of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and ultimately the deaths of some 70 people inside the compound more than seven weeks later.
"I've decided I'm never going to forget, and I owe it to the guys who were killed to tell their story," ATF Agent Gary Orchowski told the Houston Chronicle in a story published Sunday.
Four agents were killed Feb. 28, 1993, when more than 130 ATF special agents and support staff from Houston, Dallas and New Orleans showed up to execute search warrants for illegal stockpiles of automatic weapons and explosives at the compound.

Do they talk about obtaining a warrant with false information supplied to the judge? Do they explain how a full-sized metal-clad door disappears from evidence without a trace?

Interesting. Thanks, gunnyg.
If you are, then so am I.
Wonder if he’s in Wikileaks?
I hope.
The ATF started planning their assault on the Branch Davidians in the summer of 1992 when G.H.W. Bush was president.
This was a game changer for me.
The ATF started shooting first. The Branch Davidians fired back and killed some ATF agents. If it had gone to trial, there was a good chance a jury might have acquitted the BD’s as acting in self defense.
The Feds could not allow that potential precedent.
.
83 dead. Mostly women and children in a school room, after tanks with flame throwers punched holes in wooden buildings with the pilot flame burning.
No automatic weapons were ever found, nor was there any reason to believe that there would be.
Professional assassin Lon Horriuchi was allowed to take pot shots at will.

We will never forget either.
The ATF should be disbanded.

Why do you think kids would have shot them?
The first thousand rounds or so were fired at the BD school. Appears that they wanted the kids dead.
.
There is a video , or was on youtube, about the raid. It shows the agents on the side of and behind their vehicles shooting their pistols at the house. There is no dust spurts or broken windshields from return fire. The name of the video if you would be interested in watching it is “An “Unspeakable Act” or something similiar. It deconstructs the Governmemnt’s version of the raid piece by piece.
Those too young to know what went on should watch the documentary, Waco, The Rules of Evidence.

>> “Is this referring to the former Clinton body-guards who appeared to have been killed by friendly fire?” <<
Yes.
No shots were ever fired from the BD school.

That letter was shown to be a plant.

I had read where Koresh had a Class 3 FFL. That permitted him to participate in the purchase and sale [at that time] in fully automatic weapons.
84 men woman and children burned alive for living they own lives.
Armed agents attacked the compound house without provocation.
McVeigh remembered the date
Thanks for posting that link...
Best documentary video out there on the subject..
The only thing missing was a flag pole with a red flag and a bugle corp sounding the deguello.
