Or at least they'll no longer be official secrets — it may actually take months or more for the National Archives and Records Administration to make those pages available for public consumption."

    it may actually take months or more for the National Archives and Records Administration to make those pages available for public consumption.

    in other words, it takes the government a few months to go over every line on every page with a black marker. The pages might be declassified (but see if you can read the information!)

      Don't worry. Perhaps they'll release the blacked-out material as Word docs.

      You'll be able to read everything then!

    There was plenty of justification for attacking Iraq.

    The president said "Hey let's attack Iraq" and Congress said "America!...Fuck Yea!" and then Congress said to Americans "Hey let's attack Iraq" and they said "America!...Fuck Yea!" and that's all there is to it.

    There are no bench-marks or justfications for war just details and more importantly the willingness to goto war.
