Note: I made an error in my LTTE as published in the newspaper. The actual death toll at Waco was 76, not 82. That has been corrected for this post. Printed in the Herald-Times, April 16, 2013. (Comments) To the Editor: April 19 will be the 20th anniversary of the massacre in Waco, Texas, when our federal government used military equipment (including tanks) against American citizens on American soil. A fire engulfed and obliterated the Branch Davidian compound, killing 76 people.
