Some National Archives Documents Removed

[NVMojo]

What are the Bushes trying to cover up?

WASHINGTON (AP) - Intelligence officials will meet with the county's top archivist early next week to discuss the withdrawal of historical documents from the National Archives' public shelves, Archivist of the United States Allen Weinstein said Friday.

He said he requested the meeting following disclosure last month of a program in which thousands of documents, previously declassified, were being removed from public access. Historians protested the practice, saying they had access to many of the documents in past years.

"The key here is not whether records are being classified or reclassified," Weinstein said. "It is whether or not it is appropriate to do so."

10. Just like how Operation Northwoods became public

""Ironically, the documents came to light, says Bamford, in part because of the 1992 Oliver Stone film JFK, which examined the possibility of a conspiracy behind the assassination of President Kennedy. As public interest in the assassination swelled after JFK's release, Congress passed a law designed to increase the public's access to government records related to the assassination.
The author says a friend on the board tipped him off to the documents. Afraid of a congressional investigation, Lemnitzer had ordered all Joint Chiefs documents related to the Bay of Pigs destroyed, says Bamford. But somehow, these remained. "The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after," says Bamford.""

They're trying to prevent further blowback. It'll happen anyway. Light is the greatest disinfectant.

13. That man has real courage to publish what he has found.

People may have guessed Operation Northwoods things could happen, but now they KNOW, and it's not a pretty sight.

It's going to take them a while to realize that if the Joint Chiefs of Staff fully approved this kind of inhuman treachery in the 1960's, there's absolutely no idea what extremity they've embraced by now.

12. Blueprints and engineering diagrams are a known problem.

I've been doing research at NARA at both the DC and College Park branches since the 1990s. Once I was working on a project which required me to be at the College Park branch for a week straight.

One day, I watched a guy of Asian extraction with limited English get told several times that he could not reproduce some blueprints he was examining--it looked like a wiring diagram to me, but I was about forty feet away. The last time he was escorted out of the building.

The next day, a very unhappy new guy was in there, still at the same table, this time with a uniformed cop sitting across from him. They weren't back the next day.

The whole thing was amusing to me, but disruptive to others. The Archives staff wouldn't say where these guys were from or what they were looking at, but they weren't shy about saying that the researchers in question were obviously really bad spies trying to get photocopies of whatever that document was.

Please note that I am NOT saying that this is what the Bush Administration wishes to hide. What I am suggesting is that this may be the justification the Bush Administration will use to conceal their myriad crimes. Watch for it and see if I'm right.

"Appropriateness" of re-classifying documents is solely at the discretion of the executive branch. Now will the MSM start worrying? :eyes:
