From page 285, VSA:

	"Several salient facts are generally accepted;...ATF screwed up,
	 the FBI screwed up and scores of people - including children and
	 four young ATF agents - were killed."

and on page 306:

	"Treasurary Secretary Bentsen's investigators...questioned 508
persons, some of them repeatedly, some for more than a full day.
Findings: The element of surprise was lost before the raid began;  Agent
Aguilera's investigation of Koresh deserved high praise,..."


Whoa, just a minute.  Aguiler'a investigation deserves high praise?  Are
we talking about the same Aguilera that made to error filed affidavit
for the search and arrest warrtants?

Like this from the affidavit of SA Davy Agqilera for search and arrest
warrants to be used in Mt Carmel raid on David Koresh and the Branch
Davidians:

"Ms.  Sparks also said that on April 6, 1992, she visited the
compound again.  On this occasion she talked with David Koresh. 
She asked Koresh about the firearms which she had been told by the
small child.  Koresh admitted that there were a few firearms there,
but said that most of the adults did not know of them, and there
were too few to be of any significance.  Ms.  Sparks said that when
she pressed Koresh about the firearms and their location at the
compound, he offered to show her around.  He requested that she
wait about 30 minutes until he could get the other residents out of
the building so they would not see where he had the firearms
stored.  After a period of time, Ms.  Sparks was escorted through
part of the building by Koresh.  She noted that there was more
construction activity and that the inside of the structure looked
quite different from her previous visit.  Each time Ms.  Sparks
asked Koresh about the location of the firearms, he would tell her
that they were in a safe place where the children could not get to
them.  He would then change the subject.

"Ms.  Sparks said that she noticed a trap door in the floor at one
end of the building.  When she inquired about it, Koresh allowed
her to look into the trap door.  She could see a ladder leading
down into a buried school bus from which all the seats had been
removed.  At one end of the bus she could see a very large
refrigerator with numerous bullet holes.  She also saw three long
guns lying on the floor of the bus, however, she did not know the
make or caliber of them.  She stated that there was no electricity
in the bus.  Everything she saw was with the aid of a pen light. 
When questioned by Ms.  Sparks, Koresh said that the bus was where
he practiced his target shooting in order not to disturb his
neighbors.

"Ms.  Sparks felt the entire walk through the compound was staged
for her by Koresh.  When she asked to speak with some of the
children and other residents, Koresh refused, stating they were not
available.  She said that during her conversation with Koresh, he
told her that he was the "Messenger" from God, that the world was
coming to an end, and that when he "reveals" himself the riots in
Los Angeles would pale in comparison to what was going to happen in
Waco, Texas.  Koresh stated that it would be a "military type
operation" and that all the "non-believers" would have to suffer."
>--------------------------end cite-----------------------------------------------------------------

The problem here is thenext to last sentence, " the riots in
Los Angeles would pale in comparison to what was going to happen in
Waco, Texas."

The LA riots didn't start until April 29, 1992, 3 weeks after Ms. Sparks
last visit.   Now did Aguilera lie and miss-quote Sparks or was she the
liar?  Or could it be that Koresh could see the future.  I can't accept
the last option so that leaves me with either Sprarks or Aguilerq lied.
