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. ;-) - ferg ps.

The restoration of classified status to more than 55,000 previously declassified pages began in 1999, when the Central Intelligence Agency and five other agencies objected to what they 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. -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
