=====================================
("Quid coniuratio est?")
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[From an interview with Linda Thompson on the *For the People*
radio show, Feb. 11, 1994. Host is Chuck Harder.]
[Continued...]
CHUCK HARDER: Our guest is Linda Thompson.
So now Linda, where we're at here is... By the way, let me just
mention again to the folks that the name of this tape is "Waco,
the Big Lie Continues"?
LINDA THOMPSON: Uh-hum. [Affirmative] "Waco II" is the simplest
way...
HARDER: Yeah.
THOMPSON: ...to call it. Everybody's calling it "Waco II."
HARDER: All right. And again, if you want to get a copy call 1-
800-888-9999. If busy, keep trying. It's $19.95 and shipping and
handling.
Um, let's continue on here. And, and let's now go to... uh, Bob
Ricks has said, "Anybody who comes out is going to be shot." Uh,
I don't remember seeing that in the press. Of course, my life has
been a blur. But, uh, did the press pick that up?
THOMPSON: Yeah. It came across the AP [Associated Press] wires.
But it was not widely disseminated.
HARDER: O.K.
THOMPSON: You didn't hear it on ABC, CBS, CNN and so forth. And
of course, we're listening with, you know, "jaded ears" at that
point. We, we are specifically listening for things like that. So
we caught it, we kept it, and yes, they said it. They can't get
out of that.
And in the Department of Justice report they *admit* that they
threw grenades at 'em if they came out. It says it very plainly
in there. In fact, I think they admit, uh, the part about Bob
Ricks saying that, in the report... But can't remember that one
specifically. But I do remember, they admit "flash-bang" grenades
being thrown at the people.
Uh, they admit that they were... basically, they've admitted --
in the Department of Justice and ATF reports -- they've admitted
everything in "Waco I" except for the flame-throwing tank. And
they lied to try to explain that one. They do not try to claim
that the tank that you see in "Waco I" with the flames coming out
of it is not real. They did have an expert from the University of
Maryland analyze it, and one at Fort Harrison. We've had an FBI
forensics expert analyze it. *No one* has tried to claim that we
altered the tape, or that it's not flame. They've tried to
explain it away by saying they don't know what it is. And they
said... Janet Reno stood up and said, [mimicking Reno] "Well we
had CEV-I and CEV-II out there." (Now she's referring to the
tanks: "Combat Engineer Vehicle," that's what CEV stands for.)
[mimicking Reno] "We had CEV-I and CEV-II out there. And the
investigators have inspected those. And they don't have any
equipment to shoot flames. And there's no charring on them." As
if that's an explanation.
Well on page 49 of the Department of Justice report it says CEV-
II broke down and the tank crew got another tank that was not
equipped to inject tear gas. She also does not mention the other,
almost dozen, tanks that were out there *besides* CEV-I and II.
So these are the kinds of things that they do. And the reason
that they're... when you see these public officials on TV, they
are telling you truth in what they *say* because they're afraid
of voice stress analysis. So when Janet Reno stood up and talked
about "CEV-I and II," that much of it is true. But she's creating
a false impression in your mind that she's addressing the tank
that you see in our tape -- and she's not!
HARDER: In other words, it is an "error by omission" or a "lie by
omission."
THOMPSON: Yeah. Smoke and mirrors.
HARDER: O.K.
THOMPSON: They're very good at it.
HARDER: All right. Now, what's going on with the trial right now?
We don't see anything on the national press. Yes, we get wire
services here. We do have some informants at the trial.
But we're gonna take a quick half-hour break here -- you know,
break at the half-hour for our local stations for 3 minutes --
but when we come back, I'd like you to give us an idea of the
following (and maybe if we just make a little note here): Number
1, What has come out? What has the government admitted, number 1,
so far at the trial? O.K.? What has the government admitted. Uh,
we know already that they've admitted that had David Koresh met
them at the front door and said, "Hi. Nice day, isn't it? What do
ya got for me?", that the rest of the team still would have
busted in. We know that, correct?
THOMPSON: That's absolutely right.
HARDER: O.K. So let's go over, when we come back, What has the
government admitted? (Number 1.) And number 2, What's going on
from your perspective? And what do you think will happen to this
trial? And then, What's next?
Stay with us, everybody. We'll be right back with Linda Thompson.
