CIA Secretly Reclassifying Documents
Found on Slashdot on Monday, 20 February 2006
The New York Times is reporting that the CIA is secretly reclassfying documents. How did we catch on? Historians have some of the documents. From the article: "eight [of the] reclassified documents had been previously published in the State Department's history series, 'Foreign Relations of the United States.'" Are our intelligence agencies rewriting history, stupidly paranoid, or both? We do know that they are ignoring a 2003 law that requires formal reclassifications. It puts that whole Google censorship thing in a whole new light. (Americans aren't allowed to see that video.)
On one side the US goverment criticizes China for the censorship, but at the same time US citizens aren't allowed to watch a random explosion in the desert. If you are curious, you can watch the video censored by Google at Youtube. If you live outside the US, you can watch it at Google too.
