There was no copyrighted text or images, nor was it used for a source of sentences. All it did was link to Department of Defense Directive 2000.19E, a public domain PDF document. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelcoderre (talk • contribs)

Oh, okay. I see where the confusion is. The 'focus (lead, coordinate, etc.) portion can't be copyright Aero-Defense, since it is in the 2000.19E DoD Directive verbatim. I've altered the phrasing and added a reference to 2000.19E, where JIEDDO's mission was explicitly stated as such. Apologies for the rancor.

Recreation of article
It is customary to discuss the prior deletion of an article with the deleting admin before recreating it. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  15:35, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I was given no solid reason for or warning of deletion. I just logged on to see that the entry for a very relevant organization (see: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/specials/leftofboom/index.html) was nuked. I understand completely that public editing is what makes Wikipedia so great, but there was no editing here - the entry was obliterated without a viable explanation or fix.
