Censorship from the Bush Administration and CIA.... scared of the truth?

From the National Security Archive

********************************************
WASHINGTON, D.C., 27 July – George Washington University’s National Security Archive today posted on the Web (www.nsarchive.org) one of two State Department documentary histories whose release the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency is stalling, even though the documents included in the volumes were officially declassified in 1998 and 1999, according to public State Department records. The two disputed State Department volumes cover Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines in the years 1964-68 and Greece-Turkey-Cyprus in the same period.

The CIA, as well as action officers at the State Department, have prevented the official release of either volume, already printed and bound by the Government Printing Office. The National Security Archive obtained the Indonesia volume posted today when the GPO, apparently by mistake, shipped copies to various GPO bookstores; but the Greece volume is still locked up in GPO warehouses.

Yes that right. Su[pression of information by the CIA and the State Department. Why I wonder? Could it be they are scared of the truth coming out?

That truth being that in Indonesia the CIA helped to oppress the opposition communist party and also provided details of the leadership structures of that party. Strangely many of those people, disappeared.

The book states that: "We frankly do not know whether the real figure [of communists who have been killed] is closer to 100,000 or 1,000,000 but believe it wiser to err on the side of the lower estimates, especially when questioned by the press,"

ahhh political oppression abroad is such a wonderful thing.

This is not a new pattern. And curiously enough, things like this are rarely reported in the news...

Thanks for informing us, sp00k.
