Something was removed in early June 2006. Anyone have a full history dump from before then? I think I have one somewhere, gotta find it though.
That's just regular deleting, not oversight. There don't appear to be any deleted revisions, however (Special:Undelete shows no revision history). It looks like Musical Linguist deleted the article and restored all but one revision (or possibly a handful) to remove personal information (I'm guess that's what PI stands for), and then the next day Jayjg restored that revision(s) too (I guess he disagreed about it being personal).
I dunno, I think a more likely explanation is that the regular deleting happened first, and the oversight came later. Also take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&... which happened around the same time period.
If I get bored, I might take a look at their talk pages for those 2 days and see what happened.

The only thing which lends any credence at all to the rumors is the fact that some people are going to such lengths to cover things up. Not that I buy the story as Brandt tells it - I would think a government agent would do a better job of disappearing once eir cover was blown.
