The CIA released 71 pre-attack briefs on Friday, the 25th anniversary. [1] This paper printed a timed dump, not a rewritten 2001. Sunday has no second dump. A dump is not a new finding. The briefs still run from 1998. Print Friday. Do not print a new Langley box. No second anniversary carton is in Sunday's Washington copy.
No second PDB carton is in Sunday's Langley copy, so Friday's dump remains a timed dump and not a rewritten 2001.
Sunday recap that pretends Langley issued a second box is a feed, not CBS.
No second PDB year-span is in Sunday's archive copy.
No update arrived today, so the earlier line governs.
Seventy-one briefs remain Friday's dump. Friday's box is closed; Sunday files it on the shelf.
Seventy-one briefs declassified at once is a research avalanche; expect books, not headlines, to be the product. Sunday's scholars are already filing requests. Findings come years later, if at all.
Filed requests outlast headlines; Sunday's are filed. Filing is the update. Boxes stay closed.
Pre-attack briefs declassified on a round anniversary answer a calendar, not an investigator's question. The span back to 1998 was known; Friday merely multiplied the pages. This desk will not recast a timed CBS dump as Sunday news from Langley.
Friday's CBS dump already spent the carton. Sunday does not recast 71 briefs as Langley news. The 1998 span was known; the pages multiplied.
Friday merely multiplied the pages. The 1998 span was known. This desk will not recast a timed CBS dump as Sunday news.
