So long as it was properly classified in the first place, that is. <br /><br />You have to protect your sources and methods, as well as info provided by other governments, and info that would cause embarrassment or diplomatic impacts if exposed. You also don't have to confirm the accuracy or completeness of leaked information - e.g., WikiLeaks - by declassifying everything that slips out without authorization.<br /><br />World War I, you say? That was a terrible conflict, and I for one want to keep Americans protected against the Kaiser and his Huns for as long as possible. Maybe we should check those WWI documents again before we release them.TSBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790614121966204073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-20414651112028956332011-07-08T07:52:17.572-07:002011-07-08T07:52:17.572-07:00TSB: This is interesting.(Tomdispatch.com) gwb

In June, the National Security Agency declassified documents from 1809, -snip- last month declassified the Pentagon Papers, publicly available in book form these last four decades. Our government is only just now finishing its declassification of documents relating to World War I.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-86736423857642250962011-07-07T21:55:41.497-07:002011-07-07T21:55:41.497-07:00I'm with you on this one TSB! .. and here'...I'm with you on this one TSB! .. and here's another good reason to leave your computer home while travelin. gwb<br /><br />TSA Agent Caught With Passenger's iPad in His Pants; Allegedly Took $50,000 in Other Goods, Cops Say<br /><br />http://blogs.browardpalmbeach.com/pulp/2011/07/tsa_agent_nelson_santiago_ipad_grand_theft.php So if TSA<br />steals your stuff you better get on Ebay and buy it back ... same day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
