Review of Waco: The Rules of Engagement (1997) by Craig B — 29 Jun 2009
When this story dominated the news, I bought the "crazy gun-toting pedophile" angle that the media used to cover it. Several years later, however, when the hearings were taking place, it seemed obvious to me that the ATF and the FBI were snowing the public about their conduct in Waco, Texas.
Their smug attitudes and question dodging drove me crazy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not buying a David Koresh tee anytime soon. Koresh WAS crazy, as hyper-religious self-professed prophets tend to be, and his love of firearms didn't give me the warm fuzzies either.
Still, I came away from those hearings with the distinct feeling that the agencies were lying to the American public. I suppose that's what makes this documentary so fascinating. It confirms what I believed all along regarding a government cover-up, and provides a detailed series of facts to support its argument.
