[quote=Anonymous]Man, loose lips sink ships.  From the Wikipedia entry:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_siege

[quote]The ATF had intended a sudden daylight raid of the ranch in order to serve a search and arrest warrant, with the element of surprise meant to allow for the quick control of the situation, reducing the risk to all parties that would be associated with the group's members using the large cache of modified weapons and explosive devices they had available. [b]Any advantage of surprise was lost when a KWTX-TV reporter who had been tipped off about the raid asked for directions from a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier who was coincidentally Koresh's brother-in-law. [/b]Thus, the group's members were fully armed and prepared; an intense gunfight erupted, resulting in the deaths of four ATF agents and six Branch Davidians.[/quote]

If the raid wasn’t leaked, it likely would have gone off without a hitch, would have received minimal media coverage, Tim McVeigh would not have been inspired to commit the worst act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history, and so many innocent people in Waco and Oklahoma City would be alive today.[/quote]
