"...I dare anyone to tell me that just because the paper print outs were shredded or misplaced or whatever that they cannot retrieve this information from backup tape."

That was my position. But I agree with Konaice's theory that if the operation was closed downed. Then perhaps most of the raw data was erased, perhaps only paper documents where created to represent facsimily the total package of data, which included a few sets of paper generated documentation most suitable for presenting to some future review board, whatever. This may turn out to be one sad oversight that will end any further enquires, due to lack of substantiating information. Perhaps the computer systems they used, if they where PC type computers, who knows.....may not even be in existence at this point.

Out of the entire group involved in Able Danger someone has to have copies in electronic or print out form. I do it at work myself because when I work on really important things I don't even trust the IT guy to protect me from lost time and a deadline that doesn't understand computer failure or a lousy IT manager, I need assurance.

Almost everyone I work with in my office has the ability to burn a CD and I do often as a data CD that can be reused. If someone didn't retain all the information considering its size, I would bet the most important information was.

CYA always.
