I think a third option is that, directed from the top down, anything that paints a Muslim entity in a bad light is to be discouraged, let alone reach the 'staff'. If honest assessments are never created, then their existence never has to be denied; with the added bonus of having a fallguy (the intel community) if needed. I'll take "Managing the Blame Line" for 1200 Alex.
