What's the point? Those responsible politicians and their mass murdering buddies are either dead or way above the law. The public which could and should learn something from this are currently too busy masturbating to war footage and news from Ukraine.
We all already know what the US did in Latin America (and still does)... no need to read something War Criminals and Human Rights Violators didn't want you to read for 50 years... shove those documents up your ass CIA.
an open, honest government where the declassification of documents is possible and even normalised regardless of how damaging they are for the image of said government is still beneficial for all of us
also, reiterating and proving commonly held beliefs is still beneficial for all of us, same way that actually researching things that everyone already thinks are true is still good
An open and honest government wouldn't have a need to classify documents... an open and honest government wouldn't wait 50 years to declassify those same documents. Nothing open or honest about this government either way... These documents are written by the perpetrators anyway...
thats all true to a point, but i still dont see any of it as a reason to actively argue against improvement
