Secret Gov't Documents Will be Declassified 12/31

mozzwald writes "This New Year's Eve, at midnight on the dot, hundreds of millions of pages of U.S. government secrets will be revealed. 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."

Can't wait...

Can't wait 25 years to know how my president mislead us into this Iraq quagmire. We just lost 100 people so far this month and counting! Very sad indeed. More American lives have now been lost in Iraq as compared to those that died on 9/11.

Not funny at all to thousands of working linguists who believe that Chomsky has set the field back by decades.

Not funny when you consider that Chomsky's so-called "Universal Grammar" looks just like English.

Not funny when you consider that Chomsky's reputation as a thinker comes entirely from his work in linguistics, when that work is, at best, junk.

Well, like Bush says, the iraq adventure will only be a comma in the history books... his choice of adjective, not mine.

Kennedy was assassinated by Vice President Johnson (duh).
We never went to the moon.
We never went to Mars, and most space photos are faked.
AIDS (HIV anyway) is a hoax.
Retroviral therapy kills people.
Diet Coke causes siezures.
Flouride is an industrial pollutant (ask Europe).
Gulf War Syndrome is caused by depleted uranium tank rounds.
Al Quaeda doesn't exist.
Dick Cheney planned, financed, and executed 9/11.

Happy New Year!

i'm not worried. i heard Bush himself did all of the penwork. i'm willing to bet he used a yellow highlighter, though. he's not the smartest president we've had in 6 years.

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!)

Actually, given Bush's penchant for re-classifying classified information that might embarrass the government, the delay is in retyping the whole stack in disappearing ink.
