My main question is as follows: How do you determine which information should be disclosed, and which should not? I know that an investigation is carried out, but who do you consult in order to decide whether or not to censure certain information or to withhold it?How do you go about digesting all of this in order to decide whether a particular piece of information should be disclosed?
In the Afghanistan report, some information was released, while other details were not. On what did you base your decision? Does section 15.1 or some unwritten rule stipulate that any word, phrase or information that would embarrass the government shall not be disclosed? Do you consult within the office? How do you proceed?
