Qestions:
1: Was your friend charged under the USC or UCMJ? UCMJ is -much- stricter, as I'm sure you know.
2: If Koresh was having sex with persons underage, why did TX authorities not act on such charges? Why did they, in fact, -refuse- to act on such charges?
2b: If such acts were taking place, and proof could be presented, why did the Feds not bring the local authorities "into the loop" to prosecute an alleged crime which, if committed, was a -local- matter?
2c: If such acts were taking place, why did the Feds not even
mention the child-molestation allegations until the BS about the Davidians stockpiling MGs and cooking Meth turned out to be...well...BS?
3: [b]I won't dispute that evidence suggests that Koresh was sexally active with persons underage.[b] I would still like to see independant DNA verification of this.
If true, Koresh belonged in prison for life. If true, he also could have been arrested in Waco, where he went jogging every morning. Instead, the BATFE chose to lay siege to a homestead church for nearly two months, pour machinegun fire into the roof in the initial raid, and finally inject the building (full of the kids they were allegedly trying to save) with an internationally-banned blister agent which forms Hydrogen Cyanide when burned. The fact that CS is composed partly of atomised
kerosene seems to have somehow escaped the Reno Justice Dep't, wherein someone made the decision to release
atomized kerosene into a building which was known to be lighted with lanterns and candles (Since the Feds had turned off the electricity).

This bit is particlarly troubling. Are you seriously suggesting that the Government should have the right to disregard the Constitution, violate jurasdictional rules, and engage in campeigns of terrorism based upon allegations which are, at best, suspect? The united States Of America are supposed to be a nation of Law, in which the Law restrains the Government as much as it does the People. If you're comfortable letting the Gov't ignore its' own codified boundaries, fine. Just don't ever claim Constitutional protection again. Ever. Period. For anything. Because once you've willingly sacrificed one Right for the sake of Whatever, you have lost the right to invoke the rest.
