Reclassified
Does reclassifying documents make any sense at all? Ignoring the fact that it is silly to suggest that the number of missiles the US had in the 60s is a state secret, these documents are already out in the public. Are they planning on tracking down every mention of these things and erasing them? Democracies cannot be run in secret. Here come visit me:
In a 1971 appearance before the House Armed Services Committee, for instance, Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird offered a chart showing, among other things, that the United States had 30 strategic bomber squadrons, 54 Titan intercontinental ballistic missiles and 1,000 Minuteman missiles.
Those numbers, made public on March 9, 1971, are redacted in a copy of the chart obtained by the archive’s researchers in January as part of a declassified government history of the U.S. air and missile defense system, according to archive officials.
“I would say that the horse is out of the barn and they are only making themselves look ridiculous.”
- That’s about the only thing this administration is good at.
They are also good at killing people, making the world less safe for everyone (especially Americans), and breaking the law as laid out in the US Constitution.
