So many things went wrong with this and it all could have been avoided. The way David found out was because a reporter figured out what was going to happen and was on his way there before the siege and got lost, so he flagged down a car and asked where mount Carmel was. The man asked him why he wanted to know and he told him about the siege. That man was one of the Branch Davidians and he went back and told Koresh what was going to happen. When the ATF found out that Koresh knew that they were coming (they had an agent on the inside who informed them) they decided to go through with it anyway even though the element of surprise was gone. Another major mistake with the media was when they were getting some of children out during the negotiations. They used the children to try to convince the parents to come out too and when a woman finally did come out, she was arrested and because the media reported on her arrest, the Branch Davidians found out and people stopped leaving. It was a mess from the beginning and it was all a complete failure

Bottom line is the government failed with this one. No matter how you splice it, they failed to save those children, who, at no fault of their own, were victims of the cult. I think negotiators weren't aware that the leader is living in a non-logical reality, and they must work with the story in his head and not the ones in their own.

Where is LON HORIUCHI the FBI sniper that opened fire at Waco ?
He is also the sniper that shot Vicki Weaver in the head while she was unarmed and holding her baby in her arms at Ruby Ridge.
He was charged with murder by the Idaho state prosecutor but the Federal government gave him immunity from prosecution.
SHAMEFUL

While on long TDY to Waco in 04/05, I rode out to the Branch Davidian compound. There were still people there in the Church. The foundation of the building that burned was still there long since filled in with water. The bus was still there. They had planted trees for the dead. A Father Time looking fellow came out of the Church and talked to us for a couple of minutes and we left. He was very welcoming and nice. I assumed he just wanted to make sure we weren't doing any shenanigans.
