Remember the memo "Bin Laden determined to attack the U.S.?"

From the infamous memo in August 2001? Did you know this?:

"An Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) operative told an [redacted] service at the same time that Bin Ladin was planning to exploit the operative's access to the US to mount a terrorist strike" was "Egyptian."

Found this nugget in a 2004 article in NY Times:

European researchers at a security conference in Switzerland last week demonstrated computer-based techniques that can identify blacked-out words and phrases in confidential documents.

The researchers showed their software at the conference, the Eurocrypt, by analyzing a presidential briefing memorandum released in April to the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks. After analyzing the document, they said they had high confidence the word "Egyptian" had been blacked out in a passage describing the source of an intelligence report stating that Osama Bin Ladin was planning an attack in the United States.

That infamous memo needs to be re-examined and is left questionable. Remember Condi Rice's argument in the Senate hearings in 2004 in why the memo "Bin laden determined to attack the U.S." was ignored?:

National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice's claim that the FBI sent warnings to field offices was directly disputed by commissioners who said they had conducted thousands of interviews and reviewed thousands of documents. Their conclusion: no one at the FBI can recall such orders.
