U.S. Mass Declassified Documents At Midnight
Alchemist253 writes "Advocates of open government have another reason to celebrate New Year 2007: at midnight hundreds of millions of U.S. government documents that were classified more than 25 years ago got automatically declassified. Various agencies have applied for exemptions for specific documents, but nonetheless there should be a release of a number of interesting papers." From the article: "'It is going to take a generation for scholars to go through the material declassified under this process,' said Steven Aftergood, who runs a project on government secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists."
Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?
I wish I could think of a witty Sig. Sigh!
In fact, the law specifically states what may be classified, and by who.
I bet the law doesn't say that KBR can redact entries from its audit that demonstrated that they overcharged Americans, but they got to do it anyway.
However, shitheads like you just accuse everyone of working with classified material as conspirators.
They must have had help from the inside. I mean, I can't just go into the IRS office and redact my taxable salary if I want to, now can I?
If I have been able to see further than others, it is because I bought a pair of binoculars.
at last we can find out where Elvis went!!!
But Clinton!
