Of course, they are also just withholding files that they feel are damning to themselves, their activities and their 'image' [i.e illegal, immoral, unconstitutional, against international law, unjustifiable, incompatible with a democracy, treasonous, murder, war crimes and genocidal, etc., et al.]
Hey Peter, thanks for the heads up on on the Blackballing article. Thanks to Maggie too. Keep me posted if there are any followups on that.
You know, Morley v. CIA suit is an appeal over an FOIA request, and not connected to the JFK Act at all.
Apparently the Joannidies/DRE records were not considered relevant - and I think that is a Blackballing term they call NCR, even though the accused assassin had tried to infiltrate the New Orleans DRE, got busted with their psychological officer and Joannidies was the CIA's case officer for them. How could that not be relevant?
There will be another letter/request that everyone can sign that will call for the release of the remaining JFK assassination records that are withheld before the 50th anniversary, rather than in 2017.
I don't know if these letters and petitions do any good. We need to do something like that which got the JFK Act passed in the first place - a movie like JFK with the message, or a Wiki Blackout, which got the SOPA act pulled. We need a real newsworthy event that will get people to create the consensus to hold a JFK Act oversight hearing, release the remaining JFK assassination records and convene a federal grand jury to prosecute those responsible for crimes related to the assassination and cover-up.

Hey Adele, Good point that Morley v. CIA should be kept in mind, if not folded into a larger legal action [or other 'group efforts'] for the release of all agencies' files on JFK [and related] matters (as I've always felt that much of it is hidden in some of the more obscure intelligence agencies, not usually thought much about, such as Customs, ATF, Naval Intell. etc. - even in some local jurisdictions.) But, I digress. I think it is of IMMENSE interest and IMPORTANCE to all of us involved in fact [such as Adele]; or researchers; or simply as American Citizens to know our True History of the events of Dallas [and related] - which really, IMHO, is the recent TRUE history of our Country, which as been purposely HIDDEN from us; in the exact way a magician hides what he/she is really doing to acheive some false 'effect/image/action'. While a magician does it for entertainment, our Secret/DP Government has done it for stealth and deception (and worse), IMO.
I personally like the current 'Occupy' model and suggest an 'Occupy the JFK Records' Movement - complete with letter writing, petitioning and lawsuits to Congress and Agencies, etc. - plus demonstrations and visible events to awake and alarm the Public of what they are having denied and withheld - and its consequences and importance! It need not be just one such - but multiple coordinated efforts.
Just one example that comes to miind in this just awake, sleepy head while drinking all too much coffee. Occupy recently did a Martha Grahamesque people-under-black cloth 'happening' physically blocking the entrance to banks and corporate HQs - This black blob - with dancers underneath was both very visually stunning, it confused the police and attracted the media. Those not under the 'black blob' were vocalizing and showing signs of their demands and grievances. Along with letters, petitions, backing by important persons, legal actions, I'd strongly suggest an ongoing and increasingly powerful and visible civil disobedience and civil awareness program - with black blobs in front of CIA HQ or other such - this is just one possible example to make my point and need not be the actual event - one of many.
If not us, who?; If not now, when?! We are indeed all mortal and those of us who remember these events as they first occurred are getting long in the tooth. I, personally, am having health problems and don't know how much longer I'll be fighting on. Their strategy, obviously, is to deny the good stuff until after all who remember and really care are gone [who gets really worked up now about the conspiracy to assassinate Lincoln?]. I personally am tired of ONLY following the straight and narrow perfectly 'proper and legal' paths [they should, of course be followed - in fact greatly intensified!]. See my quote [below] by Zinn. It is time to also do some civil disobedience, as MLK would have done to get our ****ing History BACK - and [size=12]NOW![/SIZE] Rant over.
