National Archives Agreed to Coverup Reclassification Scheme

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) secretly agreed to hide from researchers attempts by intelligence and defense agencies to reclassify thousands of documents that had already been publicly released, some for as long as 50 years.  Through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the National Security Archive (the Archive) obtained a secret memorandum of understanding (MOU; pdf) between NARA, the Air Force, the Central Intelligence Agency and other intelligence agencies whose existence has been covered up through redactions.

The Archive scoop is another twist in the NARA reclassification story, first reported by the New York Times.  Also, the Archive points out that Raytheon received an Air Force contract to review NARA documents for reclassification.
