I just highlighted the witholding part

In yesterday's briefing, the NASA spokesman said they were withholding a lot of data as they were being very conservative in what they released until they were able to check and recheck. That is standard procedure in an Accident Investigation.

Please cut them some slack -- Accident Investigations do not happen over night! These people have a huge task ahead of them to pinpoint the cause. No one wants to find the answer more than NASA. If it turns out that the pinpoint of the cause was the liftoff, they will give the details. They are not going to send off another shuttle until they can be absolutely sure they have the problem identified and can fix it!

Me thinks that this environmental foam switch just may be the "smoking gun".

NASA has always been reluctant to "re-do" a decision like this for fear of looking like
they're vacillating.

I worked for a NASA contractor back in the Skylab days, and this type of mind set was in
place then.....I can't believe it's still there after all these years and lives lost!
