I think the plant actually makes Skittles. I worked across the street and you could smell the Skittles.

While I never did specifically research Waco, there is some related info here:

Reno for Guv? Recall *this*

[sauropod]

Y'know this article pisses me off. That 2000 report exonerating the gubbermint only happened because John Danforth thought he was going to get the VP nod.

It was more than 82 people murdered there. Don't forget about the guy shot in cold blood and hung up like a slab of meat on a meat hook during the standoff.

And old farts like that "retired professor" are simply lying.

It was murder. Plain and simple. In my mind, I will always associate the disaster at Waco with the ATF, the FBI, Janet Rhino, and His Slickness.

May they burn in HELL!!!

[eleni121]

A shameful despicable and eternally remembered event in our nation's history. Those responsible have still not paid for their abominable crimes: Janet Reno, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton

Waco will always bring the images of JBT's.

Thanks

The conspirators got away with it all in spite of repeated trials, and multi-million dollar investigations- that is what really gets to me!

[LibKill]

I'll just say I haven't forgotten a durn thing, and leave it at that.

[B Knotts]

10 years, and still no accountability.

The people who did this will face punishment, eventually, if not in their lifetimes, then afterwards. They just can't escape it.

FYI 10 year PING

The more I think about this, the more I am ashamed that Texans were not out protesting at that time against government intrusion into religious community.

NUMBER		NAME				DOB		DATE RELEASED
19.		MARK JONES - WM			06/27/80	03/03/93
20.		KEVIN JONES - WM		01/06/82	03/03/93
21.		HEATHER JONES - WF		10/25/83	03/03/93

It is important to note that for the remainder of this siege, not one additional child was released. Negotiation team members repeatedly addressed the priority objective of affecting a total release of all remaining children. These efforts were undertaken on a daily basis, if not on multiple occasions daily, throughout each day of the siege to no avail.

It became readily apparent that KORESH had "thinned the ranks" of the children of those which he did not consider his immediate family and those that represented the direct "line of DAVID (KORESH)

With all the talk about Bush's lack of diplomacy over Iraq I would say Waco represents the worst lack of diplomacy in American History...

[liberalnot]

i never did understand how clinton and reno got away with this. americans watched the residents burn on tv while they ate dinner. and, where was the aclu?

[Fraulein]

What happened at Waco was a total disgrace. Absolutely shameful. And not to mention UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It is a dark moment in this country's history.
