Actually

AT&T's formal statement about Google Voice was ambiguous! A proper
blog would have quoted it and discussed this fact. Because if you
interpret their statement literally, you realize AT&T didn't say anything
you probably didn't already believe: that AT&T doesn't do the actual
flipping of the switch that puts iPhone apps on and takes them off the
store. Naturally, Apple would be the one to initiate the switch, but one
has to believe AT&T influences the decision, and hopefully the FCC finds
out just how much influence AT&T wields.

In addition to quoting and discussing what AT&T actually said, you could
have detailed the internal reasons Apple itself might want Google Voice off
the iPhone. For instance, is Apple developing its own Voice? Is that one of
the reasons for Apple building a huge data center in North Carolina?
