CIA Declassifies the "Family Jewels"
An anonymous reader informs us that the CIA has recently declassified for your reading pleasure some records relating to illegal spying, assassination attempts, and other goodies. These are available from the CIA's FOIA portal. From the BBC article: " Last week, CIA chief Michael Hayden announced the decision to declassify the records, saying the documents were 'unflattering but part of CIA history.' The documents detail assassination plots, domestic spying, wiretapping, and kidnapping... Among the documents is a request in 1972 for someone 'who was accomplished at picking locks' who might be retiring or resigning from the agency."

You see, the role of the CIA is to assassinate foreign heads of state. It's the NSA and FBI files you're after.
Yeah, but when will they declassify the files 'bout the sharks with lasers on their heads? Of course they deny it, but /. knows better, right? Right....?

How do you know the CIA had nothing to do with Kennedy assassination:
because he's dead.

You sure? I think I saw Dick Cheney's soul on EBay a while ago. Think it was counterfeit? Should I report it?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
It makes no sense for Canada to have a military that is focused on anything other than UN peacekeeping. Now that the cold war is over, Canada has no enemies. What on earth do you need a huge military for if you have no enemies? Other than the United States (which could probably buy Canada if it really wanted to), who is in a position to invade Canada?
Who has reason to strike Canada when Canadians will pretty much give you anything if you ask nicely and say you like hockey.
The answer is no-one. Canada has no need for a cold war level military.

There are some crucial pieces of information missing from the released documents which the CIA are active in suppressing, including $*UFEF&*@#_**NO CARRIER**

I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
Ahhh, but Canada is a major exporter of oil (the world's 8th largest). And it is well known on /. that the US routinely invades countries to take their oil ... so if I were Canada I would be pretty worried.
The more you regulate a company, the worse its products become.
They don't have to be worried - "they're not even a real country anyway".

Actually, that's a damn decent reason. Look, we're human, so we're annoying. Some other advanced civilization is going to whack us once they watch some of our television for a while just to shut us up.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is usually crucified.
Behold! Uh, what was I going to say?
You know how to tell if it's genuine, right?
... and nobody's buying.

Would you feel better if they released information on current operations?
Yes, with redacted names, addresses, and exact instructions about how they create things like fake identification.
That is a much more reasonable solution than now. Let us see what goes on so that we can defend our rights, and put pressure on those who wish to take them away.
How many lives would it have saved looking at the current declassified record? How much torture could we have prevented? Coups against democratically elected leaders?
I say it's vital for us to have that information so that we can make informed decisions concerning what is going on.
