CIA Secretly Reclassifying Documents

SetupWeasel writes "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.)"

I don't see what it is even news that the CIA is doing things secretly. They are a frickin' secret intelligence agency, their entire job is to do things secretly. Why are we surprised that they do things without alerting the New York Times? Why do we care?

I understand that now days alot of people are rightfully concerned about anything being done without public oversight, but we have to make some compromises... and we have to let people like the CIA keep to themselves as that is the only way they can do their job.

Oh and would people please get the fuck over that google video... that's not censorship you idiots. Go add a video to google video yourself and see that there are checkboxes for what countries you want it to be available in. Whoever added it just decided to exclude america.
