National Archives releases first batch of 2017 JFK documents

[Anthony Thorne]

A few more cryptonyms, a bit more information on this or that person

I think the payoff with that sort of info will come with John Newman's series of books on the assassination, which are just getting started. He seems to be able to use all those seemingly minor names and code words to join dots everyone else typically overlooks.

I guess the flip side to having a mandate to release 'everything' is that there will be stuff of minor interest, but you're right, some of it does beg the question why they chose to bury the documents away. I found the quotes I highlighted earlier to be of interest though, and some of these documents won't reveal their worth until guys like Newman, Simpich, Kelly and others sit and dig through them carefully.

I'll post more documents shortly. Beyond all these, with the October deadline looming we'll have more stuff to look at sooner rather than later.
