Actually, Kamm has himself unwittingly confirmed that the document published in the Times was a fake. See his comment here:
“It was in fact a retyped version of the relevant parts of that original document. The original document contained a lot of classified information. The Times did not publish the original document, because of the danger that it would alert the Iranian authorities to the source of the leak. The full version of the document is in the hands of the IAEA.”

This contrasts the claims made by the Times who described the document they posted as “Iran’s nuclear trigger: document in full”. They also have a link to a translation of the document: “Iran’s secret nuclear trigger document: full translation.”

‘document in full’ and ‘full translation’

Someone’s not telling the truth…

“Alex wasn’t banned because he publicized the email.”

Oh, I thought that’s what you said …

“He was banned after a series of personal insults”

I thought you guys were just going at it back n’ forth like most of us do in heated debates. To be honest, I didn’t see much wrong in what you, or he, said …

“If he can manage to tell me that he feels he can adhere to comment rules”

I can post this on his site (though I don’t know if it will get through as I think he stopped updating it) but how should he contact you?

Alex wasn’t banned because he publicized the email. He was banned after a series of personal insults that culminated not only in publicizing my e mail to him but saying publicly that he was glad he’d done it. And he was suspended, not banned permanently. If he can manage to tell me that he feels he can adhere to comment rules & tone down the personal insults, then I’ll tone down my personal insults against him & reinstate him.

Alex,

You write: “I have no idea whether or not this document is a forgery. What I do know is that the basis for claiming it is is ideologically driven…”

Actually, there are good, non-ideological reasons for seriously doubting the alleged “nuclear trigger” document’s authenticity. I’ve enumerated some of these in another comment you’ll find above.
