Strange that I can't find the thread as well. Anyway, I've copied down the workflow:

To rotate skewed images accurately:
- use the Measure tool to accurately determine the angle for correction (under the Eyedropper Tool submenu at the left side)
- Using the Measure tool, we then measure a known good horizontal or vertical line in the image
- use the Arbitrary Rotate menu command (Image - Rotate Canvas - Arbitrary) to do the actual rotation
- The angle has already been entered from using the measure tool, so just hit enter
- Crop the white areas away

To confirm that the image is indeed correctly aligned, I would suggest turning on the grid ie View > Show Grid.
