If anyone's interested, News chat at 12pm edt Join Dan Gifford, producer of the feature documentary "Waco: The Rules of Engagement", to discuss the FBI siege of the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas. cnn.com Here's another link to bookmark: users.erols.com Also, an interesting link on the usenet: Then, something very strange happened. The fourth man then went to the window and threw a grenade into the room his buddies had just entered. He then fired the machine gun into the room. Why was he firing at his own men? As he fired into the room, we see three shots fired from inside the room piercing the outside wall. Did those shots come from the three ATF agents in the room who realized that they were being shot at from the outside? Undaunted, the fourth man then fired into the room once more. A bullet then hit his helmet and the impact knocked him down, but he was unhurt. He scurried to the edge of the roof and quickly went down the ladder to the ground. Who was that fourth man, and why did he fire into the room where he knew his own men had entered? We are told that the ATF rehearsed the attack over and over again. Had the fourth man been given special instructions? If so, from whom. The three men who had entered that room were the three men killed in the assault, and they have all been identified as Bill Clinton's bodyguards during the election campaign! The Waco mystery, Samuel L. Blumenfeld, WorldNetDaily.com, AUGUST 31 1999 x24.deja.com and: This Waco fiasco has all the makings of great cinema. Action. Corruption. Governmental coverup. Intrigue. Which celeb could play Janet Reno? I would have thought that the woman who played Momma in "Throw Momma From The Train" but she passed away. Yes, this definitely needs to mayed into a movie. It has all the elements of high drama. -- disclaimer: the above paragraph is not meant to desensitize the issue. I think it is too kind of a portrayal of Reno, but a worthwhile attempt at humiliating her.

msnbc.com FBI knew in ?93 of tear gas at Waco Final page of lab report had not been given to Congress MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 ? A lab document that the Justice Department failed to give Congress discloses that the FBI knew within eight months of the fiery end of the Branch Davidian siege that military tear gas projectiles were used, The Associated Press has learned. A KEY final page from a 49-page FBI lab report was turned over to the House Government Reform Committee this week, along with an internal Justice Department memo acknowledging it ?was not produced to Congress? during the 1995 investigations into the tragedy near Waco, Texas. The first 48 pages of the lab report, dated Dec. 6, 1993, had been turned over to lawmakers years ago, absent the mention of the military-style tear gas that government officials for years had denied using. The 49th page, obtained Friday by AP, discloses that FBI investigators who examined the scene at Waco found a ?fired US military 40 mm shell casing which originally contained a CS gas round,? and two ?expended 40mm tear gas projectiles.? KEY PIECE OF EVIDENCE The report is likely to become a key piece of evidence in the independent inquiry ordered by Attorney General Janet Reno and separate congressional investigations into whether government officials tried to cover up the use of potentially incendiary tear gas on the final day of the siege. Justice Department and FBI officials denied for years that such tear gas grenades were used on April 19, 1993, the day the Davidian compound went up in flames. They abruptly reversed course earlier this month and acknowledged a ?very limited number? of such devices were fired hours before the fatal fire.
