National Archivist Resigns in Protest Over Secrecy
20:14 Dec 28, '04 / 16 Tevet 5765


Israel's national archivist, Dr. Tuvia Friedling, is accusing the Shabak (General Security Service) and the Mossad intelligence agency of withholding information that is supposed to be public.



He has resigned in protest after a three-year tenure.

Dr. Friedling explained that in 1998, the 50-year "secret" classification of secret defense documents from the time of Israel's establishment expired - but that the public has still not been permitted to see them. He added that already in 1996, former national archivist Dr. Evyatar Prizel gave warning to the security establishment leaders of this expected development.

The law stipulates that all documents are to be de-classified after 50 years. Dr. Prizel informed the security chiefs that if they intended to keep the documents classified, the law would have to be amended.

Sounds similiar to what is going on with our archives... Some truths need never to be shown the light of day!!!

3. Back-door DICTATORS who abuse the shield of "democracy",...
,...certainly do NOT want their intentions or plans revealed.

The "truth" is an enemy to forever keep secret.

Only "EVIL-DOERS" would hide the "truth".

6. Israel is just following suite with the other Asses of Evil
Blair's government is deleting all e-mails over 3 months old.

Bush is shredding and classifying to eternity as quicky as he can lie.


Brave man though. Three cheers to him.
