From: Gary Hunt at the Outpost of Freedom in Waco, Texas
Date: APRIL 12, 1993 Today's press conference,
as so many in the past, included the claim that the FBI
seeks a peaceful solution to the situation at Mt. Carmel.
On March 9, David Koresh indicated his desire to
achieve a peaceful solution to the siege. The FBI,
however, continues to color Koresh as not desirous of a
peaceful solution. They allege that Koresh has lied to
the attorney that they selected to represent him. however
they refuse to allow the only course toward peaceful
resolution that Koresh has made publicly.
We are in day 44 and we have had no public statement
by Koresh that any of the statements made by the FBI are
true. It is the FBI that claims that Koresh does not want
a peaceful solution, perhaps, a setup!
Today, Bob Ricks said, "the only person who is
important to this whole scenario is David Koresh. If
somebody had the magic formula, the magic words that
would cause David Koresh to come out, certainly we would
be seeking that."
We have here an opportunity to put Mr. Koresh's words
of March 9 to the test. Words expressed to thousands of
people that he was desirous of a peaceful solution, yet
we rave a federal agency unwilling, after all of their
claims, to allow an effort toward resolution by this
simple remedy. It is beyond me how they will not allow
this simple request of Mr. Koresh to be tried in an
effort for peaceful resolution. What will it hurt to try?
Would it be an embarrassment to the FBI if the solution
were this simple?
Perhaps it is time for the FBI to stop making claims
that they appear not to want to accomplish or, they
should allow an effort that was agreeable to David
Koresh, and probably still is, to find that peaceful
solution we all desire. What are they afraid of, anyway?
Is not every effort worth trying to avoid further loss of
life?
