50 Reasons for 50 Years… Episode #49

I'd cross post this, but I think not. You'll see some GD discussion going on about this today (Nov 19th).

This episode shows how the due process to acquire suppressed information among Washing, DC journalists led to a Washington Post journalist to author his own book.

Journalist Jefferson Morely took interest as he realized that the release of some new records could tell us something more about this moment. Here's his journey as he worked with academic historians and the JFK Review Board. Here's his approach to find empirical records of what the CIA knew about the assassination. There were CIA cables about Oswald dated BEFORE the assassination. Much was not known to the Warren Commission, including the actions of operational officers with the CIA. Anyone seeking to protect the Agency's interest was of interest to the HSCA. There are at least 295 records that STILL cannot be released for reasons of "national security".
