"Officers are completely restrained from firing in the same way. They must have a specific target, or they can't fire." Wiatt, formerly the principal hostage negotiator for the Hous ton FBI office, said since women and children have been present at the compound, law officials must consider it a hostage situation. "They must be prudent on the assault technique used," he said. "Even some of the men in the compound maybe don't want to be there." The federal assault came one day after the Waco Tribune-Her ald began a series on the cult and its activities. ATF officials said the assault had been planned long ago, and action was not taken as a result of the publication. Wiatt agreed the articles did not have an effect on ATF's plans. "It is just coincidence about when the articles were released," he said. "It would not have mate rially altered anything." According to news reports, some ATF agents believe the pres ence of news media at the scene of the initial assault could have con tributed to the deaths of the four agents. Wiatt said in his past experi ences in crisis situations, the press did not always act responsibly. "Because of the anxiety to scoop other media, the press will do things to endanger themselves and the operation," Wiatt said. "That kind of anxiety can lead to a feeding frenzy. The trick is for of ficers to kept them at bay, yet still give them a certain amount of in formation." Dr. Don Tomlinson, an associ ate professor of journalism, said the media has over-stepped its bounds when it becomes a part of the story. This is especially true for the electronic media, he said. "The media has become part of the story when anything happens that would not have happened if they weren't there," Tomlinson said. "They should do everything possible to stay out of sight." Wiatt said it is common for me dia personalities to be used for ne gotiations during hostage situa tions because the captor has seen the journalist on television, and thinks the person is trustworthy. Still, it would be difficult to speculate how cult leader Vernon Howell will respond to officers and negotiations during the stand-off, Wiatt said. "They are dealing with a mani ac and there is no way to try and figure out what he will do in any normal situation," he said. "He might decide to look at this as his Armageddon and have everyone commit suicide. "This could be a Jim Jones thing, and he's going to have them all drink a cyanide cocktail." At this point, time is on the agents side because food supplies are probably limited, Wiatt said. The best thing officers could do is wait and try to get some more people released.
