		For millions of Americans, the final assault on Mount Carmel - when federal agents brought a 51-day siege of the Branch Davidian commune to a horrifying conclusion, firing over 300 canisters of tear gas into the cluster of wooden buildings before ramming them with tanks - was little better than the lynching of Washington.

		Up near the pool, 22-year-old Kevin Jones, who was in the compound through much of the siege, is telling Scott and Brenda Smith from Kansas that his father, a postman, had been the first to alert the Davidians of the impending assault.
