|It's a hoax. According to CBS, Janet Reno did not appear on 60 Minutes in

It appears as if Rob Sweeney <rjs@rsie.com> commented:

It would seem probably that the ``quote'' originated from inside the United
States immune system. Maybe it started as a ``off the record'' comment by
some official, and was finally expanded into an ``official quote'' by Rumour,
the wellknown ventriloquist?
