This paper has been printing Pentagon polygraphs as dormant through the catch-up week. Monday has no new test order in fetched copy. Dormant is not revived. A quiet building is not a leak hunt.

Print dormant. Do not print a new exam. Leave a named directive to the edition that owns a directive. No Monday polygraph memo is in the stack.

No Monday polygraph memo is in Pentagon copy, so dormant remains the word and a quiet building is not a leak hunt.
A dormant polygraph is still dormant. Monday recap that treats a quiet Pentagon as a revived hunt is a feed, not a memo.
No leak-hunt schedule is in Monday's Pentagon stack. A quiet Monday produces no memo to print.
The polygraph file dates to Sept. 4, when the Times reported about 50 Joint Staff members tested in a leak hunt. Ten days later the story is the absence of a second round. Leak investigations either produce charges or fade; this one is doing neither on the record.

Internal-security tools generate paper only when counsel wants a trail, and Monday still has none. A sequel would have been the story because it would mean the first round failed. Silence is what a completed scare looks like from outside the building.

Monday still has no sequel paper. A second round would have been the story. Internal-security tools generate trails only when counsel wants one.

Silence is the completed scare from outside. Monday still has no sequel paper. Counsel still wants no trail.

Monday still has no sequel paper. Counsel still wants no trail. Silence is the completed scare from outside.
