Abolish the ATF would mean Janet Reno would have to remove those pictures of Elian Gonzales's ‘’rescue’’ from her wall of fame and the ‘’liberation’’ of the Branch Divides next to them.

Don't forget, too, that Waco was an FBI operation too, so those photos probably aren't in jeopardy anyway.

BATF had nothing do with the Gonzales snatching. That was INS agents. The BATF did conduct the initial "Showtime" raid on the Davidians, but it was the FBI who conducted the siege and "Final Assault" on their "compound".
