Caddell, however, said he knew beforehand that the case would come with a hefty price tag. Justice Department spokesman Myron Marlin said there's no estimate yet on the price the government is paying to defend itself in the lawsuit. It is not something we normally do during a civil case.
Indications are, however, that the government has spared little expense.
For example, during a recent hearing on a motion in the case, nine government attorneys were in Waco. Danforth's appointment came after the Justice Department and FBI were forced to recant six years of denials that potentially incendiary tear-gas projectiles were fired in the hours before the standoff's fiery end.
