Bush and his neocons have done a great deal to strip away freedoms from the American people such as the Patriot Act. Then they invade a sovereign nation in search of WMD. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad that the little tidy-whitey wearing monster is out of power. That much is certain.
Now the US government is reclassifying as secret, thousands of previously public domain documents. This is part of a seven year program by intelligence agencies.
The restoration of classified status to more than 55,000 previously declassified pages began in 1999, when the Central Intelligence Agency and five other agencies objected to what they saw as a hasty release of sensitive information after a 1995 declassification order signed by President Bill Clinton. It accelerated after the Bush administration took office and especially after the 2001 terrorist attacks, according to archives records.
