A Conspiracy So Vast: Meet Ann Coulter, the Maureen Dowd of the conservatives

Below is a link to the "Venona Project" and it was evidense that was sealed by Congress for 50 years shortly after WWII and was made public in 1995, research it and decide for yourselves

Congress does not normally classify Defence Department documents. The Venona papers were classified by the originator, the National Security Agency/Central Security Service (and its predecessor). NSA/CSS was from the start of the Defence Department a DOD activity (before 1947 its predecessors came under the War and Navy Departments).

A large set of the Venona intercepts were declassified by the originator in the early nineties. Most of them have since been reclassified and removed from NSA's public/historical websites. The most probable reason (here I am speculating, I have no direct knowledge) is that a possible compromise of still-useful intelligence sources and methods was found within the files.

In any event, Congress had no involvement in Venona. It is possible that senior party leaders (before the 1970s and oversight committees) and later the chairmen and ranking members of the intelligence oversight committees were briefed in.

Polemicists have an important function sometimes. The "serious writers" haven't been able to get anyone much interested in the Communist spy cover-up I lived through back in the 50s and onward, but Ann has.

It's clear that a whole generation of people who've been uninformed or misinformed about that era now have access to information that's been actively suppressed by academia and the media. Many of them are eagerly investigating it. I see proof of that on many FR threads. The fact that certain people like Joe Conason and others are setting up an anti-Coulter blitz is very significant.

Whether Ann's "leggy blondeness" appeals to men or not is not relevant to anything. I'm rather turned off by her appearance and I'm a man. I assess the ideas in books, not the appearances of the writers.

Spot on, Sir.
