Waco...
Today is the 13th anniversary of the ATF/FBI's massacre at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, TX. The documentary Waco: The Rules of Engagement lays out our government's multiple crimes, from the bogus search warrant, the unnecessary television-orchestrated paramilitary raid on the compound, the FBI's bungled attempts at negotiation, the final assault, burning, and murder of those inside, and the bipartisan cover-up. No government agent was ever brought up on charges; all the surviving Davidians were acquitted of murder and attempted murder. This makes me sick and ashamed to be an American.
