Did B.R. authorize this memo?

It was a blast email to party members -- so I assume it was properly authorised

We don't want another repeat of the Outremont flip flop.

It was bad timing for Robert Silver, Tom Clark to air the public firings (resignation), making public retractions issued by both for leaking it prematurely.

Ian Davey deserved better.
