washingtonpost.com — On 12/31/06, some 700 million pages of secret documents became declassified and public. This would seem a victory for freedom of information, but it is not so simple. Declassification is not the same as release.You still can't rush down to the Nat'l Archives to check them out. In fact, it could be years before these public documents can be viewed.

If we really want these documents to be processed in our lifetimes, we'd hire Google to sort this out.It might also be cheaper than paying 50 people to go through paper files by hand for the rest of their lives.

This s**t should have been processed beforehand so that it was released on time. If the law is ambiguous about that, it shouldn't be.

Disgust at my ability to understand the fact that steel-framed hi-rise buildings don't fall into their own footprints at the same speed an object would fall unimpeded due to fire (WTC7), or disgust at the fact that I'm braver than you are?Either way, you have my sympathy. It must suck being unable to face reality.

You forget...the archivists are small potatoes compared to the cost of contracts to build new facilities, upgrade those that need it, or provide related services. It certainly wouldn't surprise me if this work was going to someone who is a friend or relative of someone in the Congress or Whitehouse.
