Wondering what slant this will take?

National Geographic is pretty liberal.

Don't look for them to place blame on The Butcher of Waco...

[samadams2000]

Well its National Geographic airing the program so Im thinking only the major themes and assertions will be false.

[ladyinred]

I think the slant will be the usual one. They set themselves on fire and Clinton and Reno and Hillary are heroes.

[OldFriend]

Will there be a mention of Weasley Clark's involvement?

The end run around the posse comitatus act?

Wondering what slant this will take?

Probably along the lines of "they deserved to die"... never mind the melted children.

Funny, the FBI kills 80 Americans, and the MSM cheers them on, and helps with the cover up. The Marines allegedly kill 20 "civilians" (many of which, but not all, where probably terrorists or active supporters of them), who at the very least covering for terrorists, by not reporting the IED many of them had to know about, and it's a national disgrace.

Of course if the MSM has their way, NG won't be allowed to cover the story in 13 years, they'll be lucky if they are just renamed "Islamic National Geographic" and get to cover all the wrongs done to the Muslims since the 7th century. With discoveries of new "massacres" of Muslims by Infidels on a monthly basis. More likely they'll find themselves suddenly lighter and shorter.

Lots about "Waco" here

The whole raid was set up as a "photo op." The ATF wanted to show gun owners being led from a house in handcuffs. They'd been watching too many episodes of COPS and wanted to have their own action film clips. They killed all of those people because they wanted to make the execution of the search warrant into a media event. That's the real root cause that too many people refuse to acknowledge.

I've seen the show. They pretty much side with the ATF. Bunch of crap.

The other day I heard that one of the guys who was at Waco was just released from prison the other day.

Does anyone know what in the world he was charged with?
Unless they have clear evidence that he was involved in the gunfighting what did he do?

In what was practically the first scene, BATF are shown outside the building armed with M-16 look-alikes. The voice is explaining that the Davidians are armed with automatic weapons but the poor BATF only have handguns and semi-automatice firearms.

Now what are the chances that the BATF were armed with anything less than select-fire assault rifles? I would say none. Practically the first sentence in the program is outright false.

Later, the program mentions the fact that incendiary devices were used at Waco, but only outside the building. No mention is made of the fact that there were initial denials that any incendiaries whatever were used, until evidence surfaced to show that the jack-booted-thugs lied. When forced to admit that incendiaries were used, they naturally claim that they were only used outside the building.

I'm not sure what resources and motivations led to the creation of this program, but the agenda shows clearly.

Videos of the intitial assault are shown, but somehow we do not see Koresh answering the door. Why is that? The BATF went on this raid with the intention of documenting it, but we only get to see snippets that support their version of events.
