DefenseScoop reported on Oct 21 that 17 former national security officials filed a brief urging the D.C. Circuit to rehear Anthropic's challenge to the Pentagon's supply-chain risk designation, after a September 2-to-1 panel ruling favored the Pentagon. The author's method: keep three kinds of evidence separate—the filing (a request, not a decision), the arguments (allegations the designation was pretextual, not court findings), and the order (the ruling stands unless reversed). Useful headline test: "former officials ask for rehearing" is supported; "court reverses the AI restriction" is not. Post includes a disclosure that the author makes Goose Pod.
