-Caveat Lector- .............................................................. >From the New Paradigms Project [Not Necessarily Endorsed] Note: We store 100's of related "conspiracy posts" at: http://www.msen.com/~lloyd/oldprojects/recentmail.html From: "Ian Goddard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: WACO: "Good Shot" Update Date: Monday, August 28, 2000 5:01 AM FURTHER CONFIRMATION OF "GOOD SHOT" ON WACO SWAT TAPE (c) 8/28/00 Ian Williams Goddard On August 4th I posted an audio file from a videotape made by a member of the FBI SWAT team at a sniper nest outside Mount Carmel in Waco on the day that Mt Carmel burned down (http://www.erols.com/igoddard/goodshot.htm). The cameraman is a couple hundred yards from Mt Carmel. On the tape, as you watch Mt Carmel burn a gunshot sound is heard followed by voices near the camera that appear to say "Good shot?" followed by "A good shot!" This may be a snipper asking his spotter if his shot hit a target followed by the spotter confirming it was "a good shot." After I posted that audio I contacted Mark Swett. [1] Swett is one of the people who transcribed audio tapes from bugs planted inside Mt Carmel. His transcriptions suggest that the Davidians started the fire. About the "good shot" audio track, Mark reported the following: "I picked up five shots. The beginning of the audio has what may be a shot that I include in the five - most in the distance, but one towards the end is closer to the video mic. The dialogue sounds like 'good shot' followed by 'good try.'" The straightforward interpretation of men near the camera saying "Good shot ... Good try" is basically the same as their saying "Good shot? ... A good shot!" with the exception that in the first case the shot was a miss. Both interpretations suggest a scene where men are shooting at targets and commenting on the accuracy of the shots. About another audio clip from the same SWAT-team tape, [2] Mark Swett offered this analysis: "I picked up six shots. The dialogue sounds like 'Bullseye' twice followed by 'ha-ha-ha.' The last portion is heard as 'good hit.'" Having found possible evidence of Davidian culpability in his analysis of the Mt Carmel audio tapes, nobody could rightfully suggest Swett hears what he wants to hear due to an anti-government bias, and the easiest explanation for what he and others of us hear is that the voices are some men a couple hundred yards from Mt Carmel shooting at targets and commenting on the accuracy of the shots. Moreover, if Swett's hearing of gunshots further and closer is accurate, a possible interpretation is that not all shots heard can be attributed to coming from one location, such as Mt Carmel, and thus they may be either a long-range gunfight or shots from several sniper nests. OTHER INTERPRETATIONS OF SWAT-TAPE AUDIO While the majority of respondents agree that they hear "Good shot," someone suggested that the two statements are "I been shot" followed by "I've been shot." The second statement can sound like that if you listen with that in mind. However, after using the "noise reduction" function in the Goldwave.com program, [3] I could not be more sure that it's: "Good shot? ... A good shot!" A big problem with the "I been shot" interpretation is explaining why anyone would say that. If it was an agent joking around after hearing a Davidian gunshot, there is no joking quality to the voice. If it was a person actually being shot, there are no sounds that follow the alleged "I been shot" statements that would corroborate the hypothesis that someone was shot. One might expect to hear agonizing moans or cursing if in fact the speaker had been shot. Instead there is no further talking for some time (except as a voice breaks in over a police-type radio), and when the voices in the background return, the atmosphere is casual and you even hear people laughing. Nobody got shot there. Other suggested interpretations are "Got a shot" or "Gun shot" instead of "Good shot."

If you are interested in copies of the Waco SWAT-Team video or the Waco FLIR, I can send you a copy, all I ask is 7 dollars per tape (check or m.o. to Ian Goddard, PO Box 10235, Rockville, MD 20849-0235) to cover all costs. Each tape is approximately an hour. My master copy of the Waco FLIR is a copy of Davidian attorney James Brannon's copy and the visual clarity is superior to that seen in any of the popular Waco documentaries. The FLIR covers everything that was analyzed by Carols Ghigliotti and Dr Edward Allard. Unfortunately the SWAT-Team tape is of a poor visual quality and much of it is meaningless footage of cattle and the countryside around Mt Carmel. The cameraman then does a tour of the sniper nests on the last day. As Linda Thompson, who initially acquired the tape, says, there's a lot of surprising intelligence on the SWAT-Team tape. The audio files on-line sound as good as on the tape. ____________________________________________________________ [1] Mark Swett's Waco website: http://home.maine.rr.com/waco [2] Images from Linda Thompson's Waco II: The Big Lie Continues: http://geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/System/1543/f_agents/shooter.htm [3] SWAT-team-tape audio where "Good shot?
