"You’ll also note that the “sealed” language is that of the author of the report, not any state official, nor even their “confidential source”. IOW, I think it’s a bit of hyperbole, or to be a little kinder “journalistic license”."

BINGO!  Only I believe your use of hyperbole is being too kind.  Hysterical heresy seems a bit more appropriate.  Because it's possible, it must be true.  Or, I found it in a blog on the internet, so it must be true. (God knows we cannot trust the main stream media today so we have to rely on fancy sounding websites written by the Pajamanatti)   Or my favorite from a couple of months ago... someone posted a copy of a 1961 BOAC (British Air today) system route showing there were flights between Nairobi and Honolulu, Hawai'i back then, therefore, he was born in Kenya.  (I mean He was born in Kenya)

Well, folks defending the CoLB posted, have said it's a copy of his original birth certificate. But it's not a copy of anything. It's an image of an abstract. One that appears even to my eyes, and my brain, as a manipulated image. Becasuse it's printed up on demand, and is not a copy of any original, it's extraordinary easy to forge.
