Again from  page 306:

	"Treasurary Secretary bentsen's investigators...questioned 508
persons, some of them repeatedly, some for more than a full day.
Findings: The element of surprise was lost before the raid began;  Agent
Aguilera's investigation of Koresh deserved high praise,..."

Let's look at another error/falsehood from his affidavit:

Special Agent Dunagan told me that on January 12, 1993, he spoke to
Special Agent Mark Mutz, ATF, Washington, DC, who was the case
agent on the above ongoing investigation dealing with the illicit
supplier who has provided gun parts to Howell.  Special Agent Mutz
stated that during the execution of the federal search warrant at
the company's office in South Carolina he saw large quantities of
M-16 machine gun and AK-47 machine gun parts.  The company
maintained their inventory of these parts as "replacement parts" so
they fell easily within a loophole in the federal law which
prohibited ATF from seizing the parts.  Special Agent Mutz stated
that the company had all the necessary parts to convert AR-15
rifles and semi-automatic AK-47 rifles into machine guns if their
customers had the upper and lower receivers for those firearms. 
Based on my investigation as stated above in the description of gun
parts shipped to Howell I know that Howell possesses the upper and
lower receivers for the firearms which he apparently trying to
convert to fully automatic.
-----------------------------end cite from affidavit----------------

AK-47 semi-automatic rifles one peice firearms.  No
upper and lower receiver to them.... A fact that escaped Aguilera, ATF's
experts he consulted (per Treasurary Departments report, page 31).

Note that the ATF is trying to prove guilt by association and the
company's parts were not illegal which really bugged the F Troop.  I
guess they'll blame that on the NRA agin. 8-)
