I have the beginnings of a plan for this; I'll share more as soon as I double check a few things and run some numbers. I shall call it... Project OPERATION. On Sun, Jan 17, 2016 at 3:26 PM, Lee <ler762@gmail.com> wrote:

Not at all weird; it seems pretty effective to me. Over 11 million pages "released" and only 10% _printed_ (as in someone would have to scan the page to get it back into electronic format) sounds like a pretty good access control system for something you don't really want to make public.
Unfortunately you're right. The weird part to me is the way it's justified and presented as a transparency tool! Double speak never dies, I suppose. =(
Where is it presented as a transparency tool? They seem to be real clear about what they're doing: "In order to directly access CREST, a researcher must visit the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. CIA recognizes that such visits may be inconvienent and present an obstacle to many researchers."
