-Caveat Lector- XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1999 19:45:01 ET XXXXX EX-CIA OFFICER SAYS SECRET ARMY UNIT 'PRESENT, UP FRONT AND CLOSE' DURING ASSAULT; MILITARY ROLE AT WACO JUSTIFIED, GOV REPORT SAYS A former CIA officer tells Friday's DALLAS MORNING NEWS that he learned from Delta Force commandos that members of the secret Army unit were "present, up front and close" in helping the FBI in the final tear-gas assault on the Branch Davidian compound. The former officer, Gene Cullen, tells the paper that heard detailed accounts of the military's active involvement from "three or four" anti-terrorist Delta commandos as he worked with them on an overseas assignment in 1993. The paper reports evidence in the hands of Texas law enforcement personnel may support the account given to Cullen. "I'm advised there is some evidence that may corroborate" the allegation that Delta Force participated in the assault, said James B. Francis Jr., chair of the Texas Department of Public Safety. A Pentagon spokesman who spoke on condition of anonymity denied Thursday that any U.S. military units were involved in the assault, "as far as I know." [Pentagon policy barred him from any public discussion of Delta Force, even the possibility of its existence.] Meanwhile, any U.S. military assistance at the April 1993 Waco siege was justified, according to the General Accounting Office. http://www.drudgereport.com/matt.htm Bard Visit me at: The Center for Exposing Corruption in the Federal Government http://www.xld.com/public/center/center.htm Federal Government defined: ....a benefit/subsidy protection racket!
