Actually it was the FBIs famous Hostage Roasting team who killed the babies at Waco, and an FBI sniper who shot Vicki Weaver at Ruby Ridge.

The US Marshalls were responsible for the murder of Randy Weavers son.

All the BATF did was illegally entrap Randy Weaver and lie to a Federal Judge in order to obtain the warrant that started the Waco fiasco.

I have no love for either agency, I just like to keep the facts straight.

With which they then proceded assault the Branch Davidians, media in tow. That first assault (IIRC) wounded Koresh and resulted in the deaths of 4 ATF agents which then set the attitude and tone of the rest of the siege and massacre.
