CIA Nazi Files Released

Some 27,000 pages of Central Intelligence Agency records regarding operational relationships between the CIA and former Nazis following World War II were disclosed yesterday at the National Archives.

The release was announced by the Interagency Working Group (IWG) on Nazi War Crimes, which was created by a 1998 law. The IWG, which has previously overseen the declassification of eight million war crimes-related records, is chaired by former Information Security Oversight Office Director Steven Garfinkel.

The latest release almost failed to occur due to CIA recalcitrance.

The question the documents raise, he said, is: "To what extent, and under what circumstances, can our Government rely upon intelligence supplied by mass murderers and those complicit in their crimes?"

CIA spokesman Stanley Moskowitz said (pdf) the Agency was now committed to full disclosure regarding the historical record of CIA's connections to Nazis.

1. Not suprising

When the CIA was run for it's first 14 years by America's No.2 Nazi Allen Dulles (The No.1 spot is of course reserved for Prescott Bush)

2. Wanna bet a bunch of the Poppy material was scrubbed, and that is why

they are letting it be released? Some other names will come up more and they will receive the lion's share of focus.

BushInc is great at making OTHERS the fallguys to shift focus from their actions. The media and the public will go to great lengths to discuss every other characters BUT the Bushes.
