It’s amazing that in the scene in JFK he talked about how (I don’t remember the scene exactly) presidential records on the JFK assassination would be sealed until the 2030s, and how excited he was that his grandchildren would be able to read it.

And even with all that pushback it’s still true. They keep releasing 70%, making that last bit of the documents that’s unreleased ever smaller. But there’s always something unreleased!

Is there anything of interest in there? I imagine not 30% is quite a lot.

Surely all the juicy stuff is held back.

Looks like we are now allowed to know that the CIA had agents in Australia but didn't want to admit it:

...was that really so secret 60 years ago that we had to keep the memo about the memo under wraps? And still so secret that even this revelation has so many redactions?

Given their influence in the toppling of Australia's democratically elected prime minister in 1975, I'm not surprised.

Oh wow you nailed it I reckon.

I had no idea.

Curious.

I believe at this point most of the world realises that the US intelligence has successfully infiltrated every nation ally or otherwise so quiet bizarre to redact.

Edit: I hadn't read the reply below I think he nailed it. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/oct/23/gough-...
