Media blamed in report on Waco raid fallout
The Treasury Department release condemns some ATF field leaders for giving reporters false statements about the raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco Texas. It rejects claims of a reporter tipping Koresh, though a KWTX cameraman near Koresh's home before the raid drew attention. The report says media activity was not the immediate cause of ATF casualties.
