"waco: Fire and Lies"

by R W Bradford




 The FBI cut off water and power to the Davidian prop-
erty, leaving the Davidians dependent on highly flammable
fuel for light and warmth and with no means of fighting a
fire should one break out. It chose a hot, dry, extremely
windy day for its assault  It on the people inside the wooden
buildings, stacked high with baled hay, which the Davidians
had placed against walls as protection against FBI bullets.
The FBI assaulted with tanks firing canisters of poison gas
with enough force to break through the walls, where they
were liable to hit caches of fuel or lanterns the Davidians
used for light. And each canister of poison gas, outlawed for
use in warfare, bore the ominous warning: "May Start Fire."
Under these conditions, fire was virtually inevitable,
whether accidental, as the result of negligence, or by design
of either the FBI or the Davidians. And so was the death of
the Davidians and their children: they had no water to fight
the fire and no means of escape (the building was sur-
rounded by FBI snipers). The FBI kept fire engines miles
away from the scene and refused to allow them to come to
the scene until all in the Dravidian compound were dead.
