U.S. Reclassifies Many Documents in Secret Review - New York Times

The New York Times reports that the U.S. has Reclassified Many Documents in Secret Review. "In a seven-year-old secret program at the National Archives, intelligence agencies have been removing from public access thousands of historical documents that were available for years, including some already published by the State Department and others photocopied years ago by private historians."

An intelligence historian, Matthew M. Aid, said of the items reclassified: "Some of it is mundane, and some of it is outright ridiculous."
