You could have skipped all the unimportant stuff and contacted GOONS right away.

It's unspeakably rude to allow folks to waste a pretty large amount of time trying to get you protected while you've already got something worked out somewhere else. And that we had to learn about it on the OWF.

I'm gonna echo this.
I won't deny that. But, that's not the point here. The point is people claiming that everyone there was ready to roll, when in fact, they weren't.
It has nothing to do with being scared, it has everything to do with correcting misconceptions.
No one is denying anything. No one is backpedaling. It just bears to mention that there were people in that room who were not convinced with the CB and needed more time to digest it before making a decision. I should think that would be a positive and not just running willy-nilly with whatever weak CB was there. Perhaps you should pay more attention to that, rather then just "Well, they were in the room, so they were down with the CB and were ready to roll GOONS." I don't see how you can backpedal from something when you weren't even going in a particular direction.

I was disappointed when no one had actually made the joke I made in the Pandora's Box topic, but maybe I'll be lucky in being unoriginal by throwing around Gre 2.0 here. Don't let me down, OWF.

Haf beat you to it.
Edit: I just realized your avatar changes everytime there's a refresh, that was driving me crazy.

On an unaligned nation, yes. Why would that not be the next logical step in an investigation where they have established reasonable cause to believe he was the one to send the aid (i.e. rationale for the suspicions that the original slot test was founded upon then the subsequent failure of the slot test itself). What is possibly wrong with that?
If the nation was aligned, the proper extra steps would be taken, as we saw with NSO.

I suppose I see your point and there was due diligence done in Jim's case (plenty of evidence).
