I don't know whose idea it was, but they're in a bit of a tight spot publicity-wise at the moment. I've been thinking that one way out of it would be to emulate Moses: 1.

It was a political maneuver we never had any intention of actually enforcing it. We just needed this stuff on the books and ...
