So Nicosia finally got copies from FBI in 1998. Also his publishers balking because his book was going to be too critical of the government.
This was in 1998; it was the Clinton Administration that held him up in getting the records to begin with. It was the Clinton and perhaps earlier administrations he would have been going after.
I can't figure out why anyone would bother stealing them???? If they were released under FOIA....can't anyoneget copies of them???? Why steal them?
