So why are Tesla's papers still classified anyway? I'm not in any way arguing Bearden's case, but Tesla did indeed do some pretty interesting stuff, and if the government finds a need to keep it secret at this point, that seems more than a bit strange. Unless it's simply that "once classified, always classified" is their norm, and no one has taken the trouble to get them to release the stuff?

more info here: http://www.pbs.org/tesla/ll/ll_mispapers.html Some or most of them eventally went to his nephew and ended up in Tito's Yugoslavia. There is a Tesla Museum in Belgrade that houses them. The missing papers were apparently copies of his partice beam work that were made for an Air Force weapon project. Whether the originals disappeared also is not clear from the PBS account. jbdigriz
