Latest Weapon in The War On Terror: Manila Envelopes

Britain’s leading counterterrorism, Assistant Commissioner Bob Quick of the Metropolitan Police Department, has resigned after being photographed holding a classified document in the open that revealed details of an anti-terror operation.

Photographs and videotapes showed clearly the front page of the secret document as Quick got out of a car.
