We can only speculate that the loss of life might have been much fewer if the Branch Davidian cult had a copy of PGP as well as a 2m packet radio. They could have maintained private links with journalists who could have given us their side of the story, which now, tragically will never be told.

Yes, we can only speculate. We can only speculate what would have happened if the members who had left had told what they knew -- they had/have many chances, including one member who called media from prison. Maybe the BD's didn't have anything to say in the first place? Koresh et al got plenty of radio time, and had even more time offered. His lawyers negotiated with media for film rights... I don't think PGP/packet would have helped him a bit. Having all his neurons operating in a reality the rest of us live in might have helped a bit more. (I used to live in Texas, and have long known of the "Wackos in Waco", so my sympathy level is a bit low...)
