In answer to your question:
Jayna Davis (Author of "The Third Terrorist") needs help. She received the following e-mail:

OK. Shortly after Jayna received this e-mail, the document was pulled from that site. But it can still be found at the following site:
http://www.ctc.usma.edu/aq_harmonylist.asp
Scroll down to:
Various Admin Documents and Questions
AFGP-2002-801138
Click on that link and go to the English link and find page 43 on the scroll bar (not page 43 of the document). You will find the following question:
"Q8-We hear about the Oklahoma explosion and that it is the largest explosion in America. Is it the one planned by Ramzi Yousef or not? (TC: This question was circled and marked with two (x) marks."
You will notice that the English translation is 57 pages long. You will then go to the Arabic link (right next to the English link). That link is 332 pages long so there must have been some heavy redaction because 332 pages of Arabic became 57 pages of English translation. Print off or go to page 191 of that part.
You will see the following in the middle of possibly a heavily redacted page:
Question
Ref.Oklahoma
Bombing, if
Done By Yousef
Ramzi-
EMPHASIZE
AFGP-2002-801138-007-0179
Please try to find out as much as you can about these documents before they are pulled. If anyone knows Arabic, (or knows someone who does), please go to the pages near the page 191 and see if you can find anything in Arabic that would be helpful. We need to do this before the document is pulled from this website.
Thanks Freepers

Brilliant, thanks.. I'm bumping this for later read/research.
Going there to translate right now...
Thanks for pointing out those docs.
I predict that the number of electronic copies will spiral out of the government's control over the next day or so.
Of interest is that throughout the September-December 2000 timeframe there are numerous notations about video editing software and how to use it.
I'm guessing the interest extended beyond the merely academic.
While I would not exclude the possibility that some redaction has been engaged, I find no cause to characterize it as 'heavy' solely on the comparison of PDF file sizes. Here is why: The original is a PDF composed of scanned images of each page of a day planner. Scanned images, even when compressed and concatenated into the PDF format, remain quite large. Further, the original document retains every page, including all of the many pages containing no notation whatsoever. The translation, by contrast, is predominantly text, which is extrememly compact in PDF format, and excludes all of the blank pages with notes as on page 1 of the PDF:
*Pages (6-22) of 314
Blank
So, if there has been any redaction of the translation, I would expect to discover that it involved a few scattered sentences, not page after page of material.
