However, the fact that you disclose you are doing planning is significant. As we can see from earlier articles in this thread, planning has been going on for decades. Disclosure and confirmation happened some time around April 29, 2008, along with disclosure that the State Department is drafting an ultimatum. This was CBS News, and there was no official denial. That's significant.
