Rob- To give Tom the benefit of the doubt, are there any reasonable
scenarios that would account for a limited dissemination of the
information? Couldn't we just blame compartmentalization? BRBR

Doubt it. We knew quite a lot about the F-14s capability after Iran fell. We
knew who helped to maintain them and how they received spare parts.

We knew a lot about other airforces and their engagments, but never a word
about the 'success' of Iran against the airforces of Iraq, using the Turkey.
think if it existed, it would be all over the USN...since we flew the aircraft.
