RE: Janet Reno, Attorney General of these United States of America
Subject: Janet Reno Quote
Date: Wednesday, May 06, 1998 10:54
A friend sent me this...sure would like to see the interview in context, but at any rate a very scary statement.
Subject: Cults and Government?
"Just ran across this quote from AG Janet Reno. From a person of such high power, these are scary words. --------- "
<snip - the "spam">
"-Attorney General Janet Reno, Interview on 60 Minutes, June 26, 1994"
Bad *NEWS*??? This purports to be an item that's nearly 4 years old. What's the news? I guess the news is that we're getting this 3rd hand--at a minimum, with no idea if it's true or not. But hey! This is the internet. So, again, I ask, *NEWS*???? Bad beginning, Sir Will. The willingness to pass along material of dubious authenticity is not a good sign in my book. As Mr. Natural would say, "Check your source." So, what *IS* your source? ===== Thanks for your excellent research on the origins of that, Peter!

This qualifies as an Official News Story Quote under the guidelines released by 'True Lies On The InterNet Coommiittee' which was formed on Oct. 3, 1954. To meet these guidelines, a quote must: 1. Be attributed to a species with the capacity for speech. 2. Be consistent with something 'everyone knows' the one quoted 'could have said'. 3. Be an attempt at misinformation which does not exceed the magnitude of the average MainStream Press 'lean' on the Truth (TM). 4. Provide a means for those reading the quote to check the veracity of the source and/or the accurateness of the quote, regardless of whether or not the message headers are forged. 5. Not be from a 'cocksucker'. If you check the CypherPunks archives, you will find that a Great American and True CypherPunk with a humungous schlong once sent a post to the list, titled, "Forgeries are your Friend." Think about it... "The tree of tyranny must be watered periodically with the piss of citizens...." ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
