Recently, the US National Archives released extensive documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, stimulating continued public interest and conspiracy theories. Despite a majority belief that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, the article argues that the evidence points to Oswald's singular involvement. The author critiqued the overall secrecy surrounding the files, suggesting their release was crucial to counter public suspicion, while acknowledging the potential for misinterpretation of the material, which includes sensitive intelligence dealings and spying activities.
The Kennedy files contain instances of phone tapping and spying within friendly nations. They offer details on intelligence-gathering methods that may still be used.
It's also obvious why officials wouldn't want them to be released. The release of documents regarding the assassination was long overdue. Overclassification only engenders public suspicion.
