This isn't the same as "not one ATF agent came in that day." I teach at a university, and several professors aren't here today. That doesn't mean they were "tipped off" not to come in. It means they don't work today!

Well, deconstruct all you like. I'm telling you that it was reported in the news that all the ATF field agents were absent from the building on the morning of the bombing. I heard that report myself. It may be in error, but I am not lying to you.

I'm not saying you're lying.

I'm saying that there is no way the "news" would KNOW if "all" the ATF people stayed away or not---it's not in their power to know that. It's clearly a case of some guy saying that and an irresponsible (or lazy) reporter passed it along as truth.
