Grieving 9/11 Widow Spends Almost $5 Million

I don't know all the specifics, and I'm not saying they were completely innocent; but IIRC, there were a number of people who were essentially being held hostage by Koresh, in the name of religion or whatever. I guess if they were not permitted to leave, they should be considered hostages.

I'm certainly not saying the ATF did anything wrong. They gave Koresh more than enough time to surrender peacefully. Besides, he is the one who actually started the fire, wasn't he?

I believe the building was rigged to burst into flames, although they did not in fact start it.

Yes, they might be considered hostages, but they at some point joined the cult freely (or were manipulated I guess, but still they had free will).

I do believe the Pentagon victims are covered in the WTC fund as are the victims on the planes themselves. I would also assume the passerbys that were killed by the debris/falling people.

Cool; thanks Tibs.
