I think someone is suspicious and preping his revised federal deadline article:

----------------------------------

Hello all...

I'm a reporter for The Associated Press, and I'm looking into the
issue of mission critical systems being redefined down, causing the
federal government to appear farther along than it may actually be.

If anyone knows of specific systems once considered mission-critical
and now aren't, please contact me. All tips will be kept confidential.
I'm looking for specific systems that would seem to be
mission-critical (such as a weapons system or a payroll, for example)
that have been reclassified. I alread have tons of data on total
numbers and even have Agriculture broken down by agency, but no
specific computer systems. If anyone knows of any THAT CAN BE
VERIFIED, please contact me via phone or email using the info in my
.sig below.

Many thanks in advance...
