ABC misled children of Waco participants - and now the public.

The Producer of the ABC Prime Time program, scheduled to air this evening, misrepresented the facts of how this program would play out. I was told that we would be allowed to ask an FBI representative any questions we'd like to ask. When the time came to ask my questions, the Producer said I was not allowed to present my questions.
This morning the Good Morning America host, Charles Gibson stated that, "The children were allowed to ask all of their questions, even the tough ones." This did not happen. The whole tone of the program promotional seen this morning appeared to be a sham designed to lay the entire blame for the events of 4-19-93 on David Koresh, and in the process exonerating the FBI of any responsibility. This was not the true story either.
I lived at Waco with my mother when I was a child from the age of 13 to 18 when I made the decision to leave. My mother stayed behind, and she was one of the victims who died at Waco. I am now a police officer, and I have submitted evidence to Congress in an attempt to launch a new investigation into my mother's death.
I agreed to participate in the ABC show to tell the truth about who the Branch Davidians were and the involvement of the BATF and FBI. In February, I went to New York for the interview. During the interview, I was betrayed and the program is a misrepresentation of my position and the real story of Waco.
In other promotional advertisements, ABC has made misleading statements about the Branch Davidians in what appears to be an attempt to justify the historical end result. I went into this interview trusting ABC, and now I feel like a victim all over again. Due to previous obligations, I will be at a memorial in Waco on April 19, 2003. I can be contacted at 970-214-3717 (cell) after 9 AM on the 18th of April.

-The Justice Department knowingly violated its own
interpretation of the posse comitatus law by
using tanks against the Branch Davidians, including
in the final, fatal assault; it also misled
President Clinton about their use-.
- Host Mike Wallace opined that
almost all the agents he talked to said that they
believe the initial attack on that cult in Waco was a
publicity stunt--the main goal of which was to improve
ATF's tarnished image. [21] The codeword
for the beginning of the BATF raid was "showtime."
http://i2i.org/SuptDocs/Waco/warrant.htm The proximate cause of the Waco massacre was
a federal government that lacked the
sense, patience and decency not to play paramilitary
chicken with a group that included a large number
of innocent persons including children. From the
start, the standoff was unnecessary and unjustified
. The Danforth report ignores this central point in its
exculpation. But then could one have
expected less from the famed apologist for
Clarence Thomas”
http://prorev.com/waco.htm As I have commented before, mass murder in the eyes
of the american public, has been transformed
from an awful horror to unquestioned news.
It did start with the Jonestown mass murder
as an engineered acceptable phenomena
of the 'mass suicide' tale covering up mass
slaughter.
Stay tuned. -S
The one thing I approve of during the Clinton Administration was the move they made in Waco. That was the high point.
...a wholly owned subsidiary. He will always post the "Party Line" no matter how outrageous it is.
That's what he is paid to do.

At the very least, the FBI will emerge from
this mess stripped of all credibility and revealed as an
abusive, out-of-control agency. Coupled with the FBI's
expensive screw-up at Ruby Ridge (the Weaver family
was paid in excess of three million dollars for the FBI's
crimes), the crime lab scandal which resulted in the
departure of whistleblower Frederick Whitehurst (who is
now advising Mike McNulty), and a history of spying on
civil rights, anti-war, and dissident groups, the Waco
revelations suggest a very clear conclusion about J.
Edgar Hoover's child: The Federal Bureau of
Investigation should be disbanded”.
