Reclassification

Just a topic I've been trying to read up on...

Since they took office, even before 9/11, the Bush administration has been reclassifying previously released documents. In essence, they are taking pieces of American history and making them off-limits and locking them up. Documents reclassified range from those from the Bush Sr. administration, to those relating to the current administration, and those from other eras as well. This aspect of the administration's imperial overreaching is not often discussed, but it is one that will have great impacts in years to come.

Hopefully someday, we'll have a President who will free these documents once more.
