usatoday.com — More than 1 million pages of historical government documents ? a stack taller than the U.S. Capitol ? have been removed from public view since the September 2001 terror attacks, according to records obtained by the Associated Press. Some of the papers are more than a century old.

And I'm sure this is true for any country, regardless of location, that has ever been in existance. The 'losers' in a conflict rarely get a say in what really happened.

quick poll... how many commentors actually read the artical before posting a comment?Seems like very few.The document pruning was an attempt to make it more difficult for terrorists to gain information regarding sites detailed information on a structure, organization or facility that is crucial to protecting national defense, the country's infrastructure, symbolic monuments and personal identities.And of course, since there was so much of it, they simply said, "screw it" and eliminated way more than they should have.Simple bureaucratic bumbling. Nothing sinister.

Just as many people RTFA as would have read anything that the article talks about being removed - close to zero. Just another way to take a stab at something they don't understand.

@greyghost487:First of all, were discussing the US. Second, I never implied we are the only ones who do this s**t."again tell me a country that this doesn't happen in?"So what are YOU implying, everyone else does it, so we should too, even if it is wrong?
