Here is the relevant quote from the earlier article: "[Lt. Col. Andy] Roake said that the Air Force will transmit classified images and data to Columbia accident investigators on the condition that they not be made public."
You see, they can't release the photos from the Starfire Optical Range until NASA's examined them, because if they did that, the uninformed public would leap to conclusions. But that doesn't mean they were trying to misinform us about the origin of the picture. I think they just made an honest mistake.
...more fodder for the anti-NASA conspiracists
I didn't know there was a conspiracy against NASA. Did you mean, anti-NASA conspiracy theorists?

Could somebody please explain what this standard does, who will use it, etc., in less technical words, please?
