Why did the FBI falsely claim after April 19th fire it had hard evidence Davidians started the fire?
** Within two hours of the time the fire started, the Justice Department announced two Davidians had confessed to starting the fires. This statement later quietly was withdrawn. ** FBI agents who interviewed Davidian survivors claimed three heard someone say Davidians had lit the fire. Two Davidians deny making such a statement. ** On April 20th FBI siege commander Jeff Jamar alleged that “at least three” FBI agents observed a Davidian start a fire. Later the FBI and Justice report claimed only one agent saw this. Under cross examination at trial this agent admitted, “I don’t know what he was doing.” Photographs of the area where the man allegedly started the fire showed no evidence of flames several minutes into the fire.
