Declassified JFK Assassination Files Expose Covert CIA Operations from the Vatican to Latin America

The U.S. government this week released thousands more records on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, long a source of fascination and intrigue. This is the final batch of JFK files after the federal government began declassifying documents in the early 1990s. While these latest files contain no major revelations about the assassination, they do include many previously redacted details about the CIA global effort to influence elections, sabotage economies, overthrow governments," says Peter Kornbluh, senior analyst with the National Security Archive, a government transparency organization and research institution. Now at least we know what was being done in our name but without our knowledge."
