More on the FBI's Al Qaeda No Records Response

Here's a little more to the story on FOX news which aired last night concerning FBI records.

Meredith Fuchs, General Counsel of the National Security Archive showed a letter from the FBI saying that the FBI had no records concerning Al Qaeda.  When asked about this, the FBI, through David Hardy, said that the letter was simply a mistake, that an unknown employee pushed the wrong button and sent out the letter.

According to Fuchs, the National Security Archive administratively appealed the original no records response to the Department of Justice.  To the Department of Justice's credit, they remanded the request back to the FBI for a new search.  And then the FBI, in response to the new search, sent the National Security Archive another no records response! 

Reach your own conclusion about whether or not it was just a simple mistake.
