] The government revealed last month that Reid, who is

] of the report supporting the FBI's finding."

I'd be interested in seeing that report too. For now it smells suspiciously like, "we'll say there's a code even if we don't know there'a code, just because there *might* be a code," like all those steganography rumors.

For the record, I do support the idea that all communications between imprisoned terrorists should be screened, with the exception of attorney-client communications. I just hate the "maybe there's a code!" rumors when they're not based on anything other than paranoia.

Al Qaeda's Moussaoui & Reid corresponding in code?
