My only post on the JFK assassination

26. Thanks for the link. But why be so selective in your quoting?

I found this explanation from the link you provided to be totally understandable:

In 2010, deputy archivist Michael Kurtz announced that the secret records would be declassified by November 22, 2013. But the National Archives has since walked back that promise in a letter to Jim Lesar of the Assassination Archives and Research Center, who requested the release.

"We recognize that, in a 2010 public forum. Dr. Kurtz stated that the postponed JFK assassination records would be included as part of the (National Declassification Center) project. However, as we have tried to explain before, Dr. Kurtz misspoke. Rather, because the postponed JFK assassination records have already been subject to a full and complete government-wide declassification review, they are not part of the 400 million page backlog of records that have yet to receive a final review."

Which unsurprisingly frustrates Lesar, whose nonprofit is devoted to collecting and disseminating information about political assassinations.

"In 1992, Congress unanimously passed legislation that was designed to get all of the JFK assassination-related records released," he said. "There was supposed to be only a very few records whose release could be postponed for periods of time including up until the year 2017, but basically everything was supposed to be released well before then."
