    Default Tranparency: JFK 50 thous records won't be released

    It’s the 50th anniversary of JFK’s untimely death. So why is the Obama Administration still refusing to release assassination records? Abby Martin, host of RT’s show Breaking the Set, interviews WhoWhatWhy editor Russ Baker about this. Russ also articulates the larger picture surrounding this enduring mystery.

    "...The National Archives refused ..the request of aWashington non-profit public interest group to declassify secret records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in time for the 2013 50th anniversary of that tragic event.

    The Archives reversed a commitment by Assistant Archivist Michael Kurtz at an Archives public forum in 2010, at which time he stated the remaining secret Kennedy assassination records would be released by the end of2013. The Archives today said Kurtz "misspoke" when he made that commitment to the public.
    Kurtz' promise to process the secret JFK related documents fulfilled President Obama's expressed desire that his administration be the most open in history. Today's reversal to release these records defeats President Obama's pledge that his has be the most open administration in history.

    The National Archives states that it does not know the extent of secret files in its collection related to the Kennedy assassination, but that CIA is withholding 1,171 classified documents related to the assassination. The Archive's acknowledges that in 2006 the CIA speeded up releases of documents with release dates through 2010, but that CIA declines to do so for the remaining documents due to "logistical requirements" even though, according to the National Archives, only 1,171 CIA documents of undetmined volume remain to be declassified.

    The request for release of the secret documents was made by the Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC), a Washington, D.C. non-profit public interest group in a letter signed by several of its board members and attorneys Mark Zaid, Charles Sanders and Prof G Robert Blakey; who served as the chief counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations. The letter made the point that the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination in 2013 will result in widespread discussion and news coverage, and that government documents related to the assassination should be made public in order for a fully informed discussion...."

    On the heels of Benghazi. This is even better, more exciting news about the Obama administration.

    The FOIA will soon be working overtime. And finally. The Democrats who have managed to hide their involvement...

    WILL COME CRASHING DOWN.

    The more the Obama/Democrats deny, backpeddle, hide, lie, and blame others.

    The better for the entire nation to learn how they have all been SNOOKERED.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA - IN GOD WE TRUST !
