Secret stop at a solemn site

RadarOnline reports the outing took place at the sunken USS Arizona, the memorial where more than 900 sailors and Marines remain entombed. The trip was reportedly coordinated by the military but omitted from official FBI news releases. AP spoke with a former government diver who said it is unusual for a director or anyone not connected to the memorial to be granted such access, since visits are typically reserved for National Park Service scientists and Navy divers.
