CIA Family Jewels UPDATE

Two weeks ago I posted the news that the CIA was releasing documents related to its misdeeds from the from the 1960's and 1970's. It turned out that the 'news' was a few days premature and only a summary was available then. Now the whole report is available at the National Security Archive's special section. All of the files are searchable by key word.

By the way, the name "Family Jewels" is the CIA's own contrivance. That's what they called this report in 1973.

One of my favorites is E. Howard Hunt's request for a lockpicker in the spring of 1972! Hunt was helping out the Nixon White House by doing the 'plumbing' - stopping leaks, breaking into doctor's offices, etc. He had a long career at the CIA previously that he discussed in this 2004 interview on Slate.
