Don't think you will have to wait that long.When this administration leaves you will I think see a flood of books by some who will reveal much of what had gone on in order to try to repair they own legacies.Whatever we already know is only because there are certain people in govt. that have leaked things like warrantless wiretaps,secret prisons etc.Luckily for us not everyone in Govt is loyal to one party or another and are career employees like at the CIA and have not appreciated what they have seen or been forced to go along with.

You know how it is they will admit that maybe the bums in the past did illegal stuff but that they currently are never.:nono:

Nulla poena sine lege... If the current administration passes laws that make torture and secret prisons LEGAL, they are committing no crimes when torturing and incarcerating "enemy combatants". It's as easy as that!

It is rumored that Valerie Plame-Wilson ran a secret CIA branch that developed techniques to spank enemy puppies.

Imagine if they admitted they've been ripping us off on taxes all this time because they can't control their spending?

Just imagine the REALLY dirty shit that they'll never admit - lol

[maildude]

Please...the CIA was set up to do lots of misdeeds!:yinyang:

what is this sudden openness meant to distract from?

hopefully the ~11,000 pages of documents will leave some form of trail to follow to the "real stuff".

why stop at 1973?

i'm reminded of the night the berlin wall came down, there was a live video feed at one of the checkpoints with people slowly streaming through. wouldn't that be great if this other vestige of the cold war came down as well?

i'll be watching this story closely.

I'm sure some of the worst things will never come out, or if they do it will be something like a 100 years after they happen.

The 50's was the period of mc carthysm, so the cia spied mails and registered communications of who were with the commies, the 60's-70's was the vietnam period so the cia spied and registered the communication of who were against the vietnam war and thinking leftist. The vietnam war ended in 1972 after Nixon signed the Treaty of Paris.

CIA Releases Two Significant Collections of Historical Documents

June 26, 2007

Two significant collections of previously classified historical documents are now available in the CIA's FOIA Electronic Reading Room.

The first collection, widely known as the "Family Jewels," consists of almost 700 pages of responses from CIA employees to a 1973 directive from Director of Central Intelligence James Schlesinger asking them to report activities they thought might be inconsistent with the Agency's charter.

The second collection, the CAESAR-POLO-ESAU papers, consists of 147 documents and 11,000 pages of in-depth analysis and research from 1953 to 1973. The CAESAR and POLO papers studied Soviet and Chinese leadership hierarchies, respectively, and the ESAU papers were developed by analysts to inform CIA assessments on Sino-Soviet relations.

Damn... Search for "cia" didn't get any results (I know, the three-letter-word problem). Then I went back a few pages and must have missed the existing thread.

Sorry!

Feel free to delete this thread, mods.
