directed by William Gazecki
USA 1997
There is some crazy s*it that goes on in the world
in the name of justice. Waco: The Rules of Engagement documents the
horrific story of government intervention with seemingly no organization,
justification or responsibility. The events that transpired in Waco Texas April
1993 against a sectarian group of 7th Day Adventists (Branch Davidians) is
another prime example of bureaucracy attempting to whitewash their fateful
errors. It essentially amounts to a home invasion by trigger-happy government
agents resulting in the burning-alive deaths of innocent women and children. The
film is a very thorough examination leading through the House of Senate inquiry
following the tragedy. Unfortunately the valuable evidence is only seen in this
film. FLIR photography directly refutes much of the government official
testimony - hence it was overlooked. Bravo to director Gazecki and all who
helped bring this travesty to be exposed, if only it were more widely
disseminated. Another US event in which the history books will paint a
less-than-factual portrait.

The video quality of
this DVD was taken from a variety of sources including Home video - so
it is not the best picture one might have been expecting. It is,
regardless, not a deterrent to the story line at all. Please don't let
the screen captures below deter you from buying this DVD. It is akin to
a good television documentary. The audio quality is actually better. The
Extras are also keen. I liked this DVD - and will be one I will lend out
to many friends and family. My only complaint is I like subtitles for
hearing when the baby in my arms is screaming about something - and
there are none. Still, well worth
