Will someone please explain this as it seems to contradict what the Weekly Standard was reporting re: Feith's memo to the Senate Intelligence Committee?

What's going on in the DOD?

It could be that DoD doesn't want this information to be thought of as accurate so as to protect sources?

Why deny their own data? Something is seriesly screwed up.

The items listed in the classified annex were either raw reports or products of the CIA, the NSA, or, in one case, the DIA. The provision of the classified annex to the Intelligence Committee was cleared by other agencies and done with the permission of the Intelligence Community.

Individuals who leak or purport to leak classified information are doing serious harm to national security; such activity is deplorable and may be illegal.

The DOD is protecting its own, and Feith's, rear end; the material (an index of references) leaked to the Weekly Standard was a)classified; and b)not intended as an analysis (although it may be speculated that Feith's July testimony, to which this document was a follow-up, was in the form of an analysis.)

The message is that neither the DOD nor Feith leaked the info, not that the info wasn't accurate.
