:::A) yes but this may not be the place to do it. B) Definitely. I propose we use the 9/11 Report cited as this basis for this page.  That document is more/less the definitve open source account up to that time.  It is very interesting reading, and ambiguos in points.  We should not accept ''all'' of it as doctrinaire, but serious studies could learn much from a reading of that document about government secrecy, classifications, how to read reports of this nature, and when to investigate further.  [[User:RobS|RobS]] 15:51, 23 May 2007 (EDT)
