National Security or National Embarrassment - What is the reason so many World War II, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam and even Gulf War I documents remain classified. You decide......

Speicher Last week we wrote about an March 3rd Unclassified Summary on the Case of Capt. Speicher that was recently presented to Congress. This presentation was made in compliance with a new law which requires the Dept. of Defense to brief Congress on the status of the Speicher Case, every 90 days.
We would like to thank those who were able to download and forward the March 3rd 2003 summary, from the web site of Senator Bill Nelson.
After comparison with the original March 2001, summary we came to the same conclusion as Senator Nelson and others. The reports are virtually identical.
According to Steve Patterson of the Jacksonville Times Union "The five-page unclassified version of the report is a virtually word-for-word repetition of an unclassified report the Central Intelligence Agency produced in March 2001. Two sentences about remains falsely identified as Speicher's, as well as a sentence fragment about his flight suit, were inserted. Otherwise, there were no meaningful changes. The new report was the first filed by the Pentagon under a law requiring regularly scheduled updates of Speicher's whereabouts."

And The Games Continue Law requires the Pentagon to present status updates on the Speicher case every 90 days. When the first report is due, Congress is sent a two year old report, with three sentence changes. No mention is made of the new intelligence obtained since the original report was written.
Why wasn't updated information presented to Congress? We hope some Senator is asking that question?
