Did anyone else catch this one?
Welcome to this week's selection of Picks, declassified and hot off the press thanks to the Freedom of Information Act. Well, okay, not really. But we like to pretend. On the other hand, if you would like to peruse what once was private but now is public (in a federal government sense of the word), head on over to The National Security Archive. An independent, non-governmental research institute and library, the NSArchive is where you'll find declassified U.S. documents that shed light on anything from the Nixon-Presley Meeting (Elvis wanted to be a Federal Agent at Large!) to the Cuban Missile Crisis and a handful of White House e-mail in-between.
The National Security Archive has been around for many years, and has no connection (insofar as I know or suspect) with the NSA. They have regularly supplied talking heads to various talk shows, especially six years ago during the Gulf War. (In fact, they have a leftist bias.) --Tim We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
