Biden administration releases previously classified JFK assassination documents

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)The Biden administration has released a tranche of secret documents that some historians -- and conspiracy theorists -- hope might shed light on the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

.The release still leaves some thousands of documents either partially redacted or withheld entirely. It is expected to prolong the bitter debate between the federal government and JFK researchers, who have argued that the CIA, the FBI and other national security agencies have continually stonewalled a congressionally mandated release.

Longtime JFK researchers say the release likely does not include a smoking gun that would substantively change the public understanding of the circumstances surrounding Kennedy's death -- nor, historians argue, does one likely exist elsewhere.

But for many lawmakers and transparency advocates, releasing all of the remaining documents, as mandated by Congress in 1992, is about restoring faith in the functioning of government. Public polling has long shown that a majority of Americans do not believe the Warren Commission's official finding that Kennedy was killed by a single man, Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.

1. This quote leaps out

"...restoring faith in the functioning of government."

Yeah, because in today's political climate, the burning issue on everyone's mind is whether or not Oswald acted alone.

REALLY?!

Our government is being overturned by anti-democratic fascists. That's the functioning of our government that needs our attention.

I'd say we have more immediate problems to focus upon.

2. I'm one who does not think such documents should be classified for

well over 50 years.
