#2 Way, way too much is classified and way, way too much classified is kept long beyond it need to be kept. Those people classifying the stuff are like our Fed just printing more and more money.

#3 Jimmy Carter made a declassification date mandatory on most intel material. It led to the under-classification of reports, to the detriment of no one. When he left office, the requirement ended.

#4 Computers/Automation (to include copy machines) can't be helping, either. We've come a long way from typing messages with an OCR ball on a DD 173/2 on an IBM Selectric II.

#5 Warner has a good deal of first hand knowledge of security violations so any legislation will have built in loopholes to facilitate his political shenanigans.

#7 /\ Somebody doesn't want us to know something. A blinding flash of the obvious of course.

My hunch has always been LHO was a double agent. The knowledge that a presidential assassin was on the payroll of the US Intelligence Community (IC) might still be viewed as unseemly, even by today's standards.

Ok, so call me a much older Alex Jones, but that's my hunch. Furthermore, I doubt LHO has been the 'only' IC asset who has gone bad.

Just as an aside, one of the most significant challenges with the business of espionage and recruited agent handling is asset CONTROL.

A very popular movie theme.

#9 Also note following posting about Bidengate.

An out-of-control asset.
