    According to very reliable sources, the new editor of the Washington Times decided to lift the blackout of American Border Patrol, thus allowing its reporters to tell the truth about the border. The result was the publication of a story on March 1 in which Glenn Spencer, head of ABP, is quoted.
    The story included a large map of the border fence (not shown in the online version).
    The map is based entirely on ABP's Operation B.E.E.F. aerial survey that was conducted over a three-year period. "This is a significant development because for the first time politicians, bureaucrats and reporters in Washington could see what is really going on at the border," Spencer said. Spencer said that although the Times map is not as precise as ABP's maps, its readers could easily access the source material on its Web site.
    "Up to now those politicians, bureaucrats and reporters could accept claims by the Department of Homeland Security that it had built 670 miles of fence without fear of contradiction."
    Spencer said. "Well, the era of plausible deniability is over."
    ABP's maps show that the DHS built about 266 miles of new fencing (assuming the completion of work being done in Texas) – not 670 miles. Eighty miles of what DHS claims they built is ten-foot mat fencing that has been in place for more than twelve years and is easily climbed. About 320 miles of the DHS "fence" is actually vehicle barriers that people can step over, walk through or drive over using ramps.
