So after 60 years there are still classified documents unreleased because they remain sensitive. But since the majority of those ensnared in the story have passed away you have to ask yourself who remains to be protected? Or, more likely, what institutions stand to lose in any backlash from exposure. My money is on the CIA and big business interests that associate themselves with them.
Yup. At this point, keeping documents classified makes little sense — if you want to protect the Mafia, or Cuba, or the Soviet Union, or individuals who worked in the US government. There is no good reason to protect anything like that. BUT if the institution of the CIA is in the business of taking out inconvenient US politicians, then that seems like something you might want to conceal from the public.

My mother , 91, gave me a Chicago Tribune article dated one year after JFK’s assassination a year ago. I was in first grade back then….it listed 50 or so “ mysterious” deaths of people aged 19-to their 60’s….young Dallas clerks to law enforcement people to investigators to nurses…….their deaths were tied to Ruby, Oswald, the hospital and anything to do with the assassination…..50 mysterious deaths.
People didn’t buy into the Warren commission findings back then……she told me to keep the newspaper article because one day it will come out our government murdered him…….she is still alive and hasn’t trusted our government since then.
