Administration Made Secret Agreement to Hide Reclassification Program from Public

The totally Orwellian Bush administration strikes again.

What else do they have to hide?

God, I hate to even contemplate what all they are hiding, given what we already know.

Think Progress � Administration Made Secret Agreement to Hide Reclassification Program from Public:

"In February, the New York Times revealed that 'thousands of declassified documents had been reclassified by executive branch agencies and removed from public access in questionable circumstances.' The Federation of American Scientists called the reclassification efforts 'a threat to the integrity of the entire national security classification and declassification program,' and warned they would reduce the National Archives to a 'mere repository of officially-sanctioned history.'

Now, thanks to the National Security Archive (a nonprofit based at George Washington University), we know how the reclassification scheme came about:

The National Archives and Records Administration secretly agreed to a
covert effort, led by the Air Force, the CIA, and other still-hidden
intelligence entities, to remove open-shelf archival records and reclassify them
while disguising the results so that researchers would not complain, according
to a previously secret Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)."
