Regardless, once something is in the public domain, so to
speak, it's in the public domain.

Draconian policies such as this simply illustrate knee-jerk
reactions to complicated problems, as well as the moronic
ideaisms of the simpletons who came up with this idea in the
first place.

You can't take back a fart -- there's no 'do over'.

You can, however, blame it on the dog. ;-)

ps. I suppose everyone has seen the politicos in-fighting now over
the port authority(ies) debacle?

The restoration of classified status to more than 55,000

saw as a hasty release of sensitive information after a 1995 
declassification order signed by President Bill Clinton.

Somewhere in those 55,000 documents were the 500 they were
really interested in.
