Write your reply.

assistant: I got the above information and the replies to your posts in Skeptics from
Friedman work.....he spent a great deal of time discussing Klass and his
claims about the documents.  All I can tell is that the documents have not be
disproven by Klass.  Friedman in his majic 12 book addressed all these
problems and I used them in the post to you.
       Even if Klass fails to disprove the Majestic-12 documents, i still
have my doubts.  My main reason for posting about this topic, is not that it
supports the Extraterrestrial/ufo hypothesis but rather because Skeptics
which have not even looked at these documents and their analysis, believe the
they have been dis      .  Anyhow, I what to see a government MJ-12 doc first
before I am convinced (meaning some agency admits it theirs).
