> First, there have been lawsuits filed by families of those killed
> at Waco and by some of the survivors. The suits were
> transferred to Judge Smith, the same judge who sentenced
> some of the Davidians to long prison terms, and is generally
> thought of as a very pro-government, very anti-Davidian
> judge. The government of course moved to dismiss the
> cases. To the surprise of many, Judge Smith refused,
> leaving open such claims as the Davidians' assertion that the
> government shot at people leaving the burning building. This,
> Smith stated, had at least some evidence to support it, and if
> proven would "shock the conscience of the court."
>
> Judge Smith must have been startled at the next
> development. Without warning, the Texas Department of
> Public Safety appeared in his court. TDPS announced that
> the Texas Rangers (which are part of TDPS) had two large
> rooms full of Waco evidence that had never seen the light of
> day. It explained that members of the public--documentary
> producer Michael McNulty and attorney David Hardy--had
> been asking for copies, but that when it offered to make
> them, federal agencies forbade it. Yet when McNulty and
> Hardy asked the federal agencies for copies, the same
> agencies claimed that they couldn't give them because only
> the Rangers had control over the evidence. TDPS added that
> it did not want to be responsible for withholding the evidence,
> hinted that it did not trust the federal agencies to have it, and
> offered to file the entire mass (estimated at twelve tons of
> material) in court!
>
> Things became more lively when TDPS explained just what
> was in the evidence. TDPS commissioner Jim Francis said
> that it contained government fired projectiles, which appeared
> to be pyrotechnic (that is, fire producing). It appears to this
> author that may prove that FBI started the fire that killed 74
> people, including two dozen children. He allowed he was no
> expert, but said the evidence would be at least "problematic"
> for the FBI's position. (The projectiles, fired from the FBI's M-
> 79 grenade launchers, including pyrotechnic CS gas rounds.
> These expel the CS by burning a mixture similar to black
> powder, and are stamped with warnings that they cause fires
> and may not be used against buildings.) The evidence was
> so sensitive, Francis explained, that he had instructed the
> Rangers to keep FBI out of the evidence locker until it could
> be secured with the court, and he had ordered the Rangers
> to commence their own investigation.
>
> The revelation of hidden evidence must have shocked Judge
> Smith, hitherto seen as very pro-government. He issued an
> order accepting the Ranger's evidence. Then he issued a
> second order, which is utterly unprecedented. He ordered all
> federal agencies to turn over to the court all evidence "in any
> way relevant to the events at Mt. Carmel [the Davidian
> building]." No one had even thought to ask for such an order;
> in a civil case, judges just don't order all the evidence turned
> in, whether it has been subpoenaed or not. An anonymous
> law enforcement authority was quoted in the Dallas Morning
> News as predicting that "The Justice Department is going to
> have a fit!"
>
> That's a safe prediction. Attorney Hardy's Freedom of
> Information Act suit drove ATF to admit that it had three and
> maybe four video cameras filming what happened at the
> Davidians' front door, and likely showing exactly what had
> happened when the first shots were fired--but ATF claimed all
> copies had vanished. So had an infrared tape of the building,
> which would conclusively show if and when the Davidians
> fired. We may now know exactly where those tapes are
> sitting, and exactly why they've had to be hidden for six
> years.
>
> Now for the things we can't talk about--or, at least, things
> were we can only reveal part of the story. Michael McNulty,
> producer of the documentary "Waco: The Rules of
> Engagement," is producing a second documentary. If the first
> one was stunning--it won an Academy Award nomination--the
> second one makes it look mild. With solid evidence, most of it
> from the government's own files, he shows that the FBI may
> be guilty of lying, perjury, and homicide. He found the 40 mm
> Pyrotechnic shells, and tied them to the fire. Retired FBI and
> government sources agreed to talk. The picture that emerges
> is even grimmer than we might have thought.
>
> Some Davidians had claimed that FBI fired into the building
> and shot at people who tried to escape. McNulty has
> uncovered STRONG proof that the statements are true. FBI
> infrared tapes, far better than those shown in his first
> documentary, show not only the FBI gunshots but also the
> FBI shooters. A law enforcement videotape shows the
> muzzle flashes. Internal FBI reports confirm that gunfire was
> heard from one of their sniper positions. This is only a tiny
> part of the new evidence McNulty has uncovered, but it
> should give you a guess as to what the rest is like.
>
> Here are just some of the indictments, each carefully
> documented, that McNulty's new documentary will level.
> Yes, there is a reason why 74 people burned rather than
> escape the burning building. Those who came out the back
> way--away from the media cameras--had been shot as they
> tried to get out. Yes, the "brave federal agents" got trigger-
> happy. Yes, a federal agency levied war against American
> civilians--including two dozen children.

> McNulty showed his documentary to Congressional staffs
