CIA blacks out 'Iraq War Claims' letter, after it's made accessible to public (and still is!)


".... One of the documents is especially revealing, although perhaps not in the way the spymasters at Langley intended. It’s a copy of a letter that was sent by three members of Congress to President Bush and then was routed to the CIA for a response nearly three years ago.

The only problem?

The CIA, in replying to the FOIA request, blacked out one crucial paragraph as too sensitive to disclose — even though the whole letter was publicly released by the congressmen at the time and is still publicly accessible (in its entirety) on the website of one of the congressmen, Democratic Rep. Ed Markey."
