IAN: The VDS FLIR test is still properly criticized for
their deliberate alteration of the thermal conditions on
the ground in order to highlight reflections and obscure
gunshots. That they would do that could suggest that they
need to hide something. Howver, I'm satsified that none
of the alleged events, including what Ghigliotti said
were people running around, are what plantiffs experts
have said they are, and with the new tape I have (which
is a high-grade copy of a copy of attorney James Brannon's
copy, I've seen all and what I have is virtually identicle,
what I had was horrible by contrast), it is hard to believe
the findings of the plaintiffs experts. There are two walls
with windows that fall directing onto both areas of courtyard
where there are key flashes said by Allard et al to be gunshots.
So we can draw the trajectory of a falling window to each of
the key courtyard locations. In fact, key flashes that Allard
says are gunshots on the Emmy-award winning "Waco: The Rules
of Engagement" occur exactly as one of the walls with window
is crashing down, depositing glass shards to the spot. At
no time before it fell were there flashes there, and then
there were periodic flashes there every time the aircraft
comes into the right quadrant of sky (as Hal has noted).
Explaining how glass gets to key flash locations was a
necessary prerequisite cited by Maurice Cox, one of the
FLIR experts, to invalidate the gunshot theory. It's done.
>until the evidence became so clear that he could no longer deny it.
IAN: I felt it was not proper to abandon the gunshot
theory until the rapid-flash problem was resolved. The
VDS report didn't resolve it, but I believe that I have.
