Snitch site was born Aug.4. So, we can now assume that they were collecting info weeks before the Flag addy was announced. I wonder if all the emails that Major Garret was referring to were dated 8/4 or prior, like yours. I don't believe he addressed that.
Maybe I should not have, but last night (before marking them as SPAM) I forwarded them to Major Garrett and some were from June then sent him. I also pointed that out. He unfortunately is not really in a good position to browbeat this issue because of who he is. I know he is the only person at fox that is ever allowed to talk to Gibbs however at some point he will be look like a fanatic unfortunately. I do hope he at least keeps asking for a while and then maybe someone else will continue the quest.
