The Move scandal was covered in the media -- at least by Mumia Abul Jamal --
who was later framed for murder as a reward for his efforts.  One difference
was that the move house was bombed by local police rather than the federal
government.  Also, the Waco standoff was widely covered before assualt.
Finally, Move people were poor Blacks.  Waco resonated with the extreme right,
except for those that were offended by its interracial membership.
