As an employee of the National Archives I was surprised to see this site as a *new* thing also. It's been up in its present form for at least a year and under the nara.gov flag before that.

My job involves declassifying all those juicy records everyone wants to see. After many years of doing this I can assure you there precious few things the US government CAN keep secret. It really gives me a good laugh to see all the conspiracy types out there saying the government is covering something up - UFO's, JFK, NWO types - scholars all. The best success the US government ever had with covering something up was when Nixon tried it. Let's face it folks, the *gubbament* just isn't that smart.

He who has an ear, let him hear.
