> Credible news reports state that Apple did this at the explicit request of the FBI.

A minor point of fact (I have posted this Reuters link more than anyone): a careful reading of the article does not specify an explicit request. It is very much implicit in the article. There is no direct reporting on the request itself.

It is obvious that there was an explicit request. The article simply strongly implies it, because Reuters will not report as fact things they can not verify.
