PWL declassification request thread
In looking at the language of the standing rule on such requests, there needs to be a showing of "compelling" circumstances when a matter is less than six months old but preceeded the current Court term.
In reading PWL's request, all I see from him and others is a high curiosity factor, but nothing that screams "compelling."
Since that element is a precondition to a release of a specific thread that was that recent, we ought to ask PWL to specifically address what makes the request for release so necessary as to be "compelling."
I have not looked at the thread in question yet, just at the request, and I do think it is fair to require the showing of "compelling" before we decide whether to grant the request.
