I asked for a cite because a blog I read, quoting from the New York Times, notes that the explanation given by official sources has evolved from suggested there was some legal basis to more of a PR concern about, e.g., what happened in Waco. I know the Waco angle will be a pet favorite of yours, so perhaps you should be blaming 9/11 on Janet Reno instead of Jamie Gorelick.
