Hey Ski as a veteran who handled classified information I can tell you if this memo was still classified at the time it was release someone's damn head should roll. When you hold investigation into classified memo you are asking to a fluster cluck. The general public has no right to know how we collect classified information and to use classified information for political gain is wrong! What will they gain by doing this? Nothing!!!

They actually have everything to lose if your compelling conclusion withstands the test of time. Of course, when the fit hits the shan they will fall back on the "TIME knew about it in the 90s" defense, a variation of the "everybody does it" defense Klintoon employed. Not gonna work tho, these days the public will find the leak not only distasteful, but an actual threat to their well-being. If they'd leak this, what else have they done/would they do for political gain?

The bottom line to this whole farce is that these memos which Gebphart(?) claims not to have seen until this week were given to Congress (including Gebphart) by the White House within days of Bush receiving these vague, non-specific threats!!

At the time, Bush was concerned enough to alert the FAA and -- some other federal agency, and that was back around July, 2001.

In fact, Gebphart was forced to back off once it was pointed out to the public that he had indeed been given this information last July(?). Gebphart was left to mutter something about the need to conduct an investigation, unwilling to openly admit defeat.
