I wonder how many of hundreds of similar memos, like "PLA determined to strike inside U.S." or "PETA determined to strike inside U.S." remain classified and we have (and never will) hear about. My point is that after the fact, it's clear that this was the one important memo that should have been paid attention to. Before the fact however, how is one supposed to separate that one from the hundreds of others that didn't happen?
