I have to chime in on this one. It is indeed plausible that Hound has relevant information that may run counter to what has been put out for public consumption. While on active duty I spent four years on the Air Staff in the "five-sided funny farm" and three with the National Emergency Airborne Command Post, also known as the "Doomsday Jet", as well as HQ SAC. The most important things we don't want our adversaries to know is how much we know, and even more important how we managed to get that information. Thus, no matter how important a committe's job may be, there are certain facts that never see the light of day.
That being said, I have no clue whether Hound has knowledge of such information, but it is possible that she does. She and I have met and talked at some length, and she doesn't impress me as someone who would claim to know something that isn't true just to win some argument on this forum.
