AB3A's Journal: Restore these Redacted comments

Apparently, if the Feds don't like what you have to say in your regulatory comments, they can redact your comments from public files. In the land of the First Amendment, this comes as a big shock to me.

The story is on Aero-news and on News.com. Mr. Bush's comments merely pointed out what many pilots have known for years: The So called Air Defense Zone around DC and Baltimore is a waste of resources and can be easily circumvented by anyone with determination. Unfortunately, NORAD didn't like the fact that Bush also happens to fly F-18s for Uncle Sam. Despite the fact that his comments didn't say anything that wasn't already well known, despite the fact that his was only one of some 20,000 comments, and despite the fact that ADIZ is a farce and I (among many others) have also pointed out why this is so. His comments are being redacted.

Does anyone know how I might go about finding a cached copy of these comments somewhere? They were here and here.

I'd like to repost them as far and as wide as possible to annoy as many NORAD poohbahs as possible. Anyone who thinks that the general public is that stupid deserves to be taught a lesson good and hard.

WHERE do we live again?
