How long will this go on?

I can only surmise that there's something truly devastating for the government or a friend of the government to keep this 50+-year-old (nearly 60) information concealed.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Not at all presidential

Is my math off?  The order to release them in 25 years was made in 1992.  

And there are still thousands of documents sealed because the CIA told him they would harm national security.

As we all wait for the total bomb that is the Trump show to be forced to close.

Moore's show wasn't forced to close.  It ran its intended course. It might have been a bomb.

In a crossfire of positive and negative reviews from a range of outlets over the course of the show's term in front of Broadway audiences, The New York Times, The New Yorker and the Los Angeles Times formed a consensus that Moore's act was difficult to stomach and ill-fitting for the medium given his inexperience as a true performer.

Who wants to sit and watch Michael Moore do a one-man show?  Who but Michael Moore?

Despite the yield of disappointing ticket sales and a lukewarm reception by critics, Moore tells The Wall Street Journal that his first taste of Broadway was "the most artistically gratifying experience of my life" and that "talks [are] happening about taking [the] show on the road."

Don't.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

You have to understand the CIA's point of view

Trump released a memo on Thursday explaining why he had decided to block — at least temporarily — the release of some files.

[...]

He added that some executive departments and agencies had proposed that certain information should remain redacted "because of national security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns."

[...]

The law, which mandated the release of all documents related to Kennedy’s assassination, was signed by then-President George H.W. Bush in response to “JFK,” the conspiracy-filled Oscar-winning movie from Oliver Stone that had been released a year earlier. The law ordered the immediate release of thousands of pages of documents and set the 25-year deadline for the release of the 3,100 yet-unseen documents as well as the full, unredacted versions of the 30,000 pages already made public.

Obviously, the CIA is above the law.

Trump said that all the information in the redacted documents will be withheld from the public until no later than April 26 of next year, and that agencies will have to propose any further postponements by March 12.

At which time, they'll just come up with another "national security" reason not to release them.

While many of the documents released Thursday were created in the 1960s and 70s, a small number of them — mostly sourced from the CIA — are as recent as from the 1990s. Such documents could have the potential to expose relatively recent intelligence and law enforcement operations.

Let me guess: when the law was created in '92, the CIA immediately set about creating a bank of "new" information with some not-necessarily-related current intelligence that they could point to as making the trove of documents too recent to be released. Nobody was still investigating the assassination in the 90s. Well, nobody in the government. Or the CIA. The CIA already knew what really happened in the 60s.

Maybe they're busy right now creating more documents with current intelligence in them to stuff the files.

Following the White House's rollout, researchers expressed skepticism that the CIA and FBI didn’t have enough time to fully review the files for any information that might still risk revealing intelligence sources and methods.

"I guess nobody had 25 years to prepare for today,” said Rex Bradford, president of the Mary Ferrell Foundation, a nonprofit research organization that has digitized hundreds of thousands of documents and government reports about the Kennedy assassination.

[...]

“This is a fiasco,” said John McAdams, a political science professor at Marquette University and JFK researcher. “These issues should have been resolve weeks, if not months, ago.”

Again, if you were in charge at CIA and you wanted to keep some things from being publicized, you would not have attempted to resolve any issues.

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

No! Not the CIA!

The National Archives ended up making public only a fraction of the JFK documents last night.

Still, the 2,800 papers included in the new document dump confirm some salacious details of America's decades-long quest to kill or depose Fidel Castro — including a fairly shocking plan by the CIA to sow terror in Miami.

After Castro's revolution succeeded and thousands of Cubans fled to South Florida, the agency actually considered murdering a boatload of refugees, assassinating exile leaders, and planting bombs in Miami — all so Castro could be blamed for the chaos.

[...]

The campaign was included in a report on "pretexts" the U.S. could conjure up to justify a military intervention in Cuba. The paper was sent by Gen. Edward Landsdale, a top Cold War officer who worked with the CIA to plot out Operation Mongoose; he sent the report, which included nine other "pretexts," on April 12, 1962, to Gen. Maxwell Taylor, who would soon become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

[...]

The Mongoose doc includes other frightening plots hatched by the spooks in Washington, including an idea to use biological weapons to ruin Cuba's crops, possibly leading to famine and an uprising against Castro.

  Miami New Times

Yeah, that sounds like the CIA I know.

As some astute readers have noted, much of the newly posted Mongoose details at the National Archive were already released as part of a plot called Operation Northwoods, which President Kennedy reviewed but rejected.

Oh. So they're releasing classified documents that provide informaiton already known about. That also sounds like the CIA I know.

The newly released papers include reports [describing] the CIA's willingness to collaborate with the Mob to oust the Communist leader.

So they didn't release the ones describing the CIA's willingness to collaborate with the Mob to kill Kennedy.

Don't blame me. If you don't like conspiracy theories, get the rest of the documents.

None of those details are particularly new — the wetsuit and seashell ideas were outlined in 1979 in a book about the CIA by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas Powers.

[...]

Americans will have to wait at least another six months to find out whether the hundreds of documents the CIA refused to include in yesterday's dump include any clues as to JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's deeper ties to intelligence agencies or the Soviet Union.

In the meantime, let's just be grateful the CIA decided not to blow up Miami in the name of going after Castro.

No, sorry. I'm not going to "be grateful" to the CIA for anything. It's a criminal, corrupt and ruthless organization that doesn't seem to be accountable to anyone. Do you think they didn't do other things just as horrible?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

"Conspiracy theorists"

You didn't "order" anything, Mr. Nothing-happens-in-the-world-without-my-edict. It was already set up to happen. You're just the bunghole who happened to be in the Oval Office at the time.

And, as far as anything still being claimed to be a matter of national security, I think that's ample evidence right there that the "conspiracy theorists" are on the right track. What could hold over for 50 years as a matter of national security if not CIA need to keep its part in the assassination covered up?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
