I didn’t know how horrible this actually was when it happened. I was still a kid who thought our government was generally good and must have had their reasons.
Apparently the only "reason" they had was Thou Shalt Not Defy The Government. At the time, the leader of the sect, David Koresh, was frequently seen in the town of Waco, walked about freely, and could have been arrested at any time without incident. But wanting a big spectacle and high profile event, the feds surrounded the compound and laid siege to the place for a long time while the media took lots of photos and videos. The agents on scene were giving daily interviews with the media, basking in the spotlight of media attention.
After the ghastly end that they brought about, I don't recall that many agents had the stomach for interviews, and the finger pointing began. And I don't think DOJ head Janet Reno ever paid ANY consequences for her bungling of the operation.
