Since the MC 161 document was leaked to the KGB and as such is no longer effectively a NATO secret, is it available to read anywhere? Whether or not it is, I hope someone sufficiently knowledgeable will fill in the red link with an article about MC 161. 77.99.26.23 ( talk) 08:50, 30 July 2012 (UTC) reply

I can't find any online sources showing that he said this. All "hits" I got from Google were little more than copies of this article and so aren't exactly sources. Knowing what I do about Rupp I'm sure he believed it was his moral duty but again, no sources. I suggest it be removed. Coinmanj ( talk) 00:34, 27 January 2013 (UTC) reply
