Writings

• Eleven Years Since Waco and Very Little Has Changed
  Anyone who has looked closely into the Waco massacre and who is not a blind devotee of the government would agree that the tragedy was primarily the government’s fault. - Anthony Gregory, April 19, 2004 [LewRockwell.com]

• An Anniversary That We Must Never Forget
  All decent Americans who love this country and the principles on which it was founded must resolve never to forget what happened there. - Anthony Gregory, April 14, 2003 [The Independent Institute]

• The Flir Project: Revealing Danforth’s Deceit
  "Meticulous, even-handed, and subtle in its execution, the FLIR Project effectively illuminates yet another chapter in the WACO cover-up." - Cletus Nelson, August 8, 2001 [LewRockwell.com]

• No Confidence: An Unofficial Account of the Waco Incident
  "That incident—which is now referred to simply as Waco—has become the most controversial law enforcement operation in modern American history. Although the "official" investigation of the incident now places all of the blame for the carnage on the Branch Davidian leader, David Koresh, numerous crimes by government agents were never seriously investigated or prosecuted. If those crimes go unpunished, the Waco incident will leave an odious precedent—that federal agents can use the "color of their office" to commit crimes against citizens." - Timothy Lynch, April 9, 2001 [CATO]

• Waco Fire Continues to Burn on the Web
  "The Internet is a perfect medium for those who remain dissatisfied with official accounts of the government's handling of the Waco case." - Stephen D. O'Leary, October 13, 2000 [Online Journalism Review]

• Waco and the Corruption of Liberalism
  "What we need is not another post-liberal regime but a new appreciation of classical liberalism in order to replace the frightening corruption of the last eight years and before. When our communities are safe from federal tanks, our property is our own, our associations are private affairs, and our businesses are permitted to serve customers and not the state, we will know that true liberalism has returned." - Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr., June 23, 2000 [LewRockwell.com]

• Waco: Lies, Deaths, and Cover-Ups
  "As more facts come to light six years after the Waco inferno, Americans are confronting a gruesome possibility: that their own government officials knowingly and intentionally killed the Branch Davidians, almost a third of whom were children." - Jacob G. Hornberger, November 1999 [The Future of Freedom Foundation]

• What Happened at Waco?
  "An exclusive interview with Waco survivor David Thibodeau, co-author of A Place Called Waco: A Survivor's Story" - October 4, 1999 [Reason]

• Buried truth
  "Unless and until there are thousands upon thousands of angry citizens asking their congressmen and senators to find out why BATF began the Waco surveillance in the first place, why they attacked the Mount Carmel Center when they could have arrested Koresh on the street or even in his home, and why they chose to start the raid when the element of surprise was lost, the prediction of my reader will come true. Without the American people asking questions, the media firestorm over the latest Waco revelations about illegal government activities and subsequent cover-up will again end with federal bulldozers burying the truth." - Tanya K. Metaksa, September 9, 1999 [WorldNetDaily]

• Waco: a sickening failure of American journalism
  - Alexander Cockburn, September 9, 1999 [Seattle Times]

• Fanning the Flames of Waco
  "If, as President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno claim, the federal government bears no responsibility for the deaths of the children at Waco, why has the federal government worked so hard, and with so much success until recently, to falsify the facts about what happened there?" - David B. Kopel and Paul H. Blackman, September 8, 1999 [CATO]

• The Waco phoenix
  "While the truth about the 1993 Waco Massacre is rising like a smoky phoenix from its ashes, I worry that the government, especially government law enforcement, learned nothing from that debacle." - Tanya K. Metaksa, September 2, 1999 [WorldNetDaily]

• To Make Amends for Waco, Pardon the Branch Davidians
  - Alan A. Stone, August 31, 1999 [Wall Street Journal]

• Persecution, American-Style
  "It is sobering to recall that the justification for the initial B.A.T.F. raid was the suspicion that residents of Mount Carmel had illegally converted semiautomatic weapons to machine guns. For this victimless crime by a few of their members, scores of Davidians ultimately died." - Jacob Sullum, August 31, 1999 [Reason]

• Retracting the Retraction
  Retired mathematician-imagery analyst Maurice Cox challenges the 'sun reflection' explanation advocated by the FBI and Vector Data Systems. The federal government used this absurdity to explain the flashes that are seen on infrared tape of the Waco siege. [Roland Research]

• Mass Murder in the "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave"
  - Crystal Miniard [Liberty Round Table]

Were the children abused?

• Child Abuse at Waco
  "And, it turns out, there really was a massive amount of child abuse at Waco, although not exactly as described by the government." (by David B. Kopel, 1995 [Independence Institute]

Carlos Ghigliotti

• Carlos Ghigliotti's Waco Analysis
  - David T. Hardy

• What is the life expectancy of a Waco investigator?
  "The lead lawyer in the Branch Davidians' wrongful death lawsuit against the federal government Monday asked a federal judge to impound all information relating to the 1993 Mount Carmel siege from a Washington-area office where a government infrared expert was found dead last week, reports Lee Hancock in The Dallas Morning News." - Vin Suprynowicz, May 7, 2000 [The Libertarian]

• Waco expert's death 'suspicious'
  "The mysterious death of a key figure in the ongoing Waco congressional investigation may not have been from natural causes, according to attorney David T. Hardy, who fears that his friend Carlos Ghigliotti, owner of Infrared Technology, may have been the victim of foul play." - Sarah Foster, May 3, 2000 [WorldNetDaily]
