Reply #110: Do a search for info on the Waco FLIR tapes

Forward-Looking-Infra-Red. They pick up heat signatures. The Learning Channel had an excellent (though highly disturbing) look at the Waco disaster, and the FLIR tapes were one of the key points of evidence. I do not recall the name of the show off the top of my head, though. Basically, two different labs of independent researchers studied the FLIR tapes and found flash fires erupting at points where gas and pyrotechnic grenades were launched into. When the fire was in full force, it shows machinegun fire coming from OUTSIDE the compound, directed INTO the compound DURING the fire itself. The gunfire was directed at the only escape route for ~25 men, women and children, effectively pinning them down while the smoke and flames killed them. This despite FBI insistance that no gunshots were ever firing at the Davidians.

Like I said, very disturbing. I do not believe conspiracy theories, but this one has too much evidence to dispute as a bunch BS from some right-wing nutjobs.
