NUMBER		NAME				DOB		DATE RELEASED

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)

Jim as I've told you in the past, you've got good info and make some good points. Problem is you're trying to polish a turd, something that can't be done. If people on this thread are confused by the facts it's not their fault. The facts have been tortured, misrepresented, hidden and lied about by all parties, especially the agencies who bear the responsibility for the tragedy who have a stake in not revealing the truth.

There was much evil to go around. Koresh was evil, and our government was evil as well. Heck even evil McVeigh was there. How spooky is that?

Satan had his way with America that day. For some strange pathological and pathetic reason, you continuously attempt to exonerate the evil actions taken by the BATF and others. You just can't do that.

When I say can't, I don't mean as in I don't think you should (I don't but that's not my point). I mean can't as in you won't be able to. You should change your screenname to _Jim_Quixote.
