MuckRock FOIA Request Releases Christopher Hitchens' FBI Files

v3rgEz writes: Outspoken atheist firebrand Christopher Hitchens was never one for understatement, and apparently the FBI took notice. A Freedom of Information request from investigative news site MuckRock has resulted in the release of his 19-page FBI file, including details such as how his interest in socialism in college sparked heightened monitoring when given a scholarship to come to the United States. Some of the pages had actually been previously released, but were then removed from the FBI's own website a few years ago. Despite the monitoring, Hitchens files have nothing on the hundreds of pages the FBI had on Richard Feynman.

If you live in America, you are free to leave. Something people in USSR couldn't do. Atheism is so scared of relgion, that it had to kill Millions (and still does in China) who have a faith that is dangerous to the collective.
