Blogger Bob went through some hoops to get you guys that information, too. Directives such as that are almost always considered to be SSI (the only ones that aren't, that I'm aware of, have to do with our dress code :P). For him to get that posted onto the Blog would have required a great deal of parlay with the office of the Administrator as he bandied back and forth with justification for doing it, and showing how it would be more beneficial to the mission than not releasing it (in this case, public opinion).

In the end, Kip Hawley would've had to given him written permission to release the full-text information of the Directive, and lift it from SSI protection.

(By the way, this all goes on the assumption that it was SSI to begin with, and since it took this long, it most likely was.)
