I took that part differently. I think the Air Force guy's veiled reference means that the USAF is going to use drugs to help Briggs *recover his full memories* of the so-called "close encounter"--in order to prevent Briggs from allowing those memories to resurface in an *uncontrolled environment*. I think this explains why the preview shows Coop invoking his federal connections to get Briggs loose--I look forward to next week's episode to see if he pulls this off. --Mike -- Mike Godwin, (617) 864-0665 | "That information, as I have repeated infinitely mnemonic@eff.org | to myself, is classified ... though the keeping Electronic Frontier | of secrets ... seems less meaningful to me now."
