Ah yes, "The Rules of Engagement" -- a discredited movie that I'm surprised people actually still cite. Several congressional hearings, an independent investigator, and at least one court of law have reached the exact same conclusion: the Davidians started the fire. Is there a controversy there? Yes, there is. The FBI claim they did not hear the Davidians giving the order to start the fire on the day of the assault on the compound -- they claim that was only discovered later when the tapes from the bugs were re-examined, and that if they had known the Davidians were starting fires they would have stopped the attack. However, one of the officers that was at Waco that day says that he could hear the order to light the fires very clearly as the attack was going on. So there's your controversy -- clearly they torched themselves. But could more have been done to stop them from burning themselves up? Maybe so... -- Steve Tate --- srt[At]cs.unt.edu | Gratuitously stolen quote: Dept. of Computer Sciences | "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, University of North Texas | or better,' so I installed Linux."
