I think maybe it was for countries who we considered allies (for whatever reason) at that moment, and maybe the administration is freer now to release info.
There had to be a reason, surely they just wouldn't have.
Maybe Negroponte had his own reasons?
We have an article here at FR where Bush was asked about these docs during an interview and he was cited as saying something about some legal lawyers owning this information. I'm going to look for that post now.
Please add me to your PreWar Docs ping list.
Thank you.
