Waco, Texas (NBp) - NBp, a bastion of investigative journalism,
today discovered the truth of what happened in Waco on that fateful
day. We cornered a handful of FBI agents on their way to lunch
and interviewed them. The following is the unaltered transcript
of that interview.
NBp: There's no point in beating around the bush.
Did you use incendiary devices in the standoff at Waco?
Agent 1: No
Agent 2: No
Agent 3: No
Agent 1: A bit
Agent 3: A bit
Agent 1: Well, we did use a little one.
Agent 2: But, they had guns!
Agent 3: Yeah!
Attorney General Janet Reno was unavailable to NBp for comment.
However, we did talk to Janet Reno's secretary's assistant's daughter,
who is occasionally forced to spend time at her mother's office. She
stated that Reno was "furious". Sources confirm that this is the
sixth straight day in which the normally "angry" Reno was, in fact,
furious.
In addition to the agents' admission that the incendiary tear gas
canisters were used at Waco, the FBI has produced videotapes,
written instructions on the use of the canisters, and the original
canisters themselves. The FBI collectively insists that it did
nothing wrong because no one asked specifically, "do you have the
tear gas canisters that were used at Waco?"
Republicans have been quick to criticize the handling of the case
by the FBI and the Justice Department, stating "if there is any
possibility of wrongdoing that we can use to gain leverage in an
election situation, then we are willing to spend any amount of
taxpayer money to get to the bottom of it."
