Bresnahan � 2000 WorldNetDaily.com Saying he wants to hold the government accountable for "the torture of innocent children," the attorney for David and Rachel Koresh's three children -- all of whom perished, along with 14 other children in the Branch Davidian fire in Waco, Texas -- has already deposed, under oath, over 30 FBI and Delta Force personnel regarding their role in the April 19, 1993 disaster. In the wrongful death lawsuit, attorney Jim Brannon was hired by relatives to represent the three Koresh children, ages 16 months, 6, and 8; the two oldest children celebrated their birthdays during the 51-day siege. Other deceased victims of the fiery assault, both adults and children, are being represented in other cases. Eventually, over 100 federal officials will be deposed, including Attorney General Janet Reno and perhaps President Bill Clinton. So far, about a third of those on the list have been questioned under oath in court-ordered depositions. "Almost all of them from FBI people. Two of them from military people, and it seems as though an almost universal amnesia has struck -- an epidemic of amnesia," explained attorney Jim Brannon in a telephone interview. The federal officials involved in the 51-day siege at Waco completed a government form known as a "302" after the event took place. Those forms are primarily notes or transcriptions of interviews, but they are not sworn statements. Brannon is using those forms as a starting point for questions as he places the federal officials under oath. "Naturally they don't remember anything, but they sure remember there wasn't anybody there on the ground shooting," Brannon told WorldNetDaily. A recent documentary film, "Waco: A New Revelation," presented evidence that federal forces fired guns into the Mt. Carmel site prior to and during the fire that killed 17 children and 54 adults. The documentary also presents evidence that CS gas was sprayed almost continuously into the site for up to six hours, and that the gas combined with incendiary devices now known to have been used in the assault could have caused the ensuing fire. The FBI has strongly denied there was any gunfire from any federal forces. It has also stated that the Branch Davidians committed suicide by not coming out when the CS gas was used on them. Bob Ricks, FBI special agent in charge at Waco, stated at a press conference shown in the documentary that the FBI purposely sprayed the dangerous gas on the mothers and children. He said it was done in an effort to get the mothers to "flee" with their children. "You have these other groups of lawyers who represent all the adults, and their families, and heirs, and brothers, and sisters, and so on. I, on the other hand, have three innocent kids who are dead, and we want to know why," explained Brannon. "My fundamental position in the case, just from the standpoint of the limited claim that I have, is very simply this: We don't authorize under any conditions, any circumstances, not a single instance, nowhere, no time, do we tell any law enforcement officer as part of the arrow in your quiver you get to torture babies to accomplish your ends," stated Brannon emphatically. Although the FBI and other federal officials have tried to justify their actions, Brannon said there is no justification and believes his case will be an easy one to win. The FBI should know "you don't ever torture a baby for any reason, however noble it may be," he said. "You don't get to torture a baby to save your life. We don't pay you to torture babies, and that's what you did there, and you knew you did it, and you advertised you did it, and you bragged that you did it, and you said, 'Oh, but we didn't think it would hurt them much.' "That's not the worst thing you said. The other thing you said was, 'Well, all their parents have to do is bring them out, so don't blame us.' The translation is, if you have bad parents in this country, and you're a little kid, law enforcement gets to torture you because they don't like your parents. "Ain't that a hell of a note for the government to take! Nobody says you get to torture babies in America -- period. Not for any reason. Not for any purpose," stated Brannon. The FBI continues to maintain its claim of innocence in the sworn depositions, said Brannon, still maintaining that no government guns were fired that fateful day. Government video footage seems to show gunfire, but official FBI sources have disputed those claims, even though government experts were used to analyze the footage. WorldNetDaily recently reported on efforts to dispute those claims. Brannon initially had difficulty getting the government to admit that the Delta Force exists. Once an agreement was reached that he could depose members of the elite fighting team, a series of strict rules was put in place. Brannon is not permitted to know the names of the Delta Force members being deposed, or even to see them. They are kept behind a screen for "national security" reasons. No recordings of the interviews are permitted on video or audiotape. The only record of the deposition is by a court stenographer. Brannon said the process is worse than the amnesia of the FBI agents.
