Thanks, I look forward to those quotes. The original CIA "Estimate" came to the correct conclusion in the late 1940s, but it was rejected because of insufficient data; the more data that has been gathered (orders of magnitude by now) the more the original report's conclusion has been upheld. A sanitized version was put out, it said basically, nothing, and then branches of the DoD got involved at different times. That has been continual (not continuous) right up to the recent past, and probably is ongoing right now.
