Waco Report

Special Counsel John Danforth says the government did not cause the deaths of 80 members of the Branch Davidians in their compound near Waco, Texas, in 1993. Danforth has released an interim report that says government agents did not start the fire, did not shoot at the Davidians, did not improperly use the military and did not engage in a major cover-up. He does say the government was slow to give some information, but when it finally did, that information did not indicate wrongdoing. NPR's Barbara Bradley reports.
