Janet Reno takes responsibility for FBI actions during the Waco standoff
Attorney General Janet Reno stands at a lectern with a blue backdrop behind her, shortly after the end of the siege at the Mount Carmel complex near Waco, Texas. The shot begins wide and slowly zooms in on her upper body as she delivers this response to a question about President Bill Clinton's level of responsibility in the FBI's decision making process: "I made the decision, I'm accountable, the buck stops with me, and nobody ever accused me of running from a decision that I made based on the best information that I had. I don't do spin stuff, and I'm not distancing anybody from anything. I'm telling you exactly what happened."
