No, we need to look at all available OBJECTIVE info.  

The government said the BD's had auto weapons; the government was never 
able to produce any.  

The government said they themselves went in without full auto weapons; 
the videotape shows otherwise.

The government said they had to attack because Koresh was heavily armed;
when Koresh held them off, the government said they never suspected he
was so well armed.

The government said they couldn't arrest Koresh because he was holed up 
in the compound; neighbors said he jogged and went out to the store
regularly.

The government said they moved the raid up several days; the search 
warrant they had expired on the day they actually used it.  

The government said they needed to investigate to find out who tipped 
off the media; the government discovered it was the BATF's own public 
relations office.

The government said that the gas they used was not flammable; then they
said on CNN that they used acetone as a dispersant.

The government said they would play Koresh's audio tape on nationwide
radio, unedited; they played it on local radio, edited.

The government held an investigation; then the government got caught
"accidentally" providing "edited" versions of the 911 tapes to Congress.

The government tried passing a regulation exempting their investigation
from the FOIA -- when the public expressed its outrage, they claimed
they really didn't mean what they wrote in the regulation.

The government said Koresh was banging children.  Do you have any clue
now why I don't really give a flying  &^@$# what the government says?

After all this, you still expect "substance" from the government?
