US News & World Report's January 17, 1994 issue has a short article on
Sheila Martin, one of the survivors of Waco.  The following portion of the
article is most enlightening, quoted without permission:


'She will recall crawling along the floor to pull Jamie [her son] - severely
disabled because of cerebral palsy, strokes, and blindness - from his bed
near a window, glass shattering on his body. .....

  But more than anything else, Martin will testify against any notion of a
planned conspiracy to kill federal agents. Why, she asks, would she leave
a handicapped child in front of a window if a gun battle was planned? 
"There is no way there would have been just four agents killed if we were
waiting for them," she adds coldly. "Our men were saving us from being
killed."'
