[private] PWL's declassification request

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.
 
I have responded to the effect that his current reasons are not compelling. I have asked for him to provide a reason that sufficiently justifies the invocation of that rule.
