National Archives releases first batch of 2017 JFK documents

[Peter Lemkin]

I'm having a very hard time trying to wrap my head around why some [no, many] of the documents previously withheld in full would be withheld at all. Some, OK, I can see some 'logic' if one uses the 'intelligence mindset'....but others labeled as 'unintelligible' [and which are unreadable], as well as one (which I cite as an example - many, many others I could also include) which is a report [complete with enclosures of newpaper and enclosing envelope] of an anti-Vietnam war paper sent to an on duty Marine in Okinawa, is hard to find a rationale for withholding - or even for it being relevant to any of the major assassinations. It is attached here. So far, I'm pretty underwhelmed with the documents I've seen. A few more cryptonyms, a bit more information on this or that person, but things I know that should be here are not...not yet. It contains a short article found in another unclassified but withheld in full document entitled 'Dr. King Was Right' - about King's famous speech against the War in Vietnam, and his beliefs about that war and the war vis-a-vis the racial situation in the USA, as well. Strange, even if I know the US Military played a role in King's assassination. The ONLY logic I can find is the Military and the CIA refuse to release anything that has the whiff of truth about it......
