Proof of Jordan's participation in the international military force in Afghanistan

This is a snippet from the original document unclassified by the NATO, which you can find here, it names Jordan as one of the countries participating in the international force managed by NATO in Afghanistan (and that Jordan does not want to go public about it).
I am publishing this just to be on the safe legal side, and to maintain the credibility of this blog and my reputation as a journalist, after publishing two days ago a blog post about Jordan keeping its participation from the international force in Afghanistan a secret to its own citizens. The original blog post can be found here.
Interestingly, analyzing readership statistics and domain addresses for those who monitored the blog, I found some interesting readers:
US Army Information Systems Engineering Command, (Headquarters Usaisc), visited 3 times on 24th March 2009, at 13:50:24, 13:50:38 and 13:51:22.
Royal Jordanian Hashemite Court (Rhc) visited once on 24th March 2009, 15:37:29
Jordanian Intelligence Department (gid.gov.jo) visited 12times (So far) on 24th March 2009 between 17:42:27, and 18:37:32
....among many other unique visitors between yesterday and today. I find it perplexing that no one leaves an official comment to explain, why does Jordan want to keep this a secret, when Jordanians understand and accept its alliances (as I mentioned in the original post)?
This is high time for transparency.
