A Waco FBI Report News Briefing Part 1 Of 2 [bCBfUC5ZOp0]
Standoff Duration and the Characterization of David Koresh
The 51-day standoff at Mount Carmel is noted as one of the longest in American history, surpassed potentially only by the Wounded Knee incident. While typical law enforcement standoffs are resolved within days, the extraordinary length of the Waco event is a subject of ongoing debate. Ed Dennis defended his characterization of Koresh as "insane" and "twisted" based on a review of negotiation tapes and medical reports.
