That was a cover story the BATF used to get JTF-6 assets.
When challenged on why the BATF was involved in a drug case, they changed it to illegal firearms.
The SF CO at JTF-6 called back to USASFC and after legal counsel refused to provide certain requested training because of the weak justification and posse commitatus.
I was at USASFC when Waco went down, saw the message traffic, heard the phone calls, and watched at least two members of the command testify in front of Congress. One is a member of this board.
82T is right, it was a massacre, and was absolutely unnecessary.
