Just seen this great, and disturbing, documentary about the ATF and FBI essentially murdering dozens of people during the Waco siege.
However, does anyone know why the public access footage of the Bradley tanks shooting fire into the compound and starting the fire (which everyone up to and including Janet Reno denied) when even I have a copy of on more than one Bill Hicks video?

Excellent documentary that still manages to shock and enlighten. Unfortunately, times haven't changed much since this was made and it is thus an important piece for all freedom-conscious Americans to see.
If you want to have any clue as to what really happened at Waco, you must see this film! It is outstanding, and will shock and fascinate the 99% of Americans who think they know what happened at Waco. Highly recommended!

Absolute must see documentary for anyone interested in getting to the bottom of this story. Told with unflinching eye and with gripping style. If you think conspiracy theories are for paranoid disturbed people, this could change your mind. Something for you feds too: A good model for government coverups! If you like your news all tidy and easy to consume this is not for you.

Waco: Rules of Engagement does a very good job of not drawing conclusions for its viewers. It simply presents interviews, footage from the standoff, footage of the Congressional hearings, phone conversations, expert testimony, etc. and allows you to draw your own conclusion.
I hardly intend to imply that the data presented here was done with 100% objectivity but it is very convincing. You won't like Koresh any more after you see this than you did before, but I tend to think that you will come to believe, as I now do, there is much that we were not told about what happened before and during the standoff.
