“...there is the family who didn’t want it to be made public...” IF I were a part of the family and found a journal/diary existed, I would want to know what was in it before it was publicized. IF I knew there were things about my loved one that he didn’t want to be made public, I would especially want to read that material before it was publicized. To me it is extremely logical that they would not want it in anyone’s hands and control except their own.

In this case, the journal contains information that is vital to the whole picture regarding an attack on sovereign United States land and on US citizens. However much a family might want this journal immediately, it is important evidence.
That said, once again the State department dropped the ball in not securing this scene. How the heck was CNN allowed to simply waltz in and take whatever they saw?
