to make public the final 10 documents about the surveillance of John Lennon that it had withheld for 25 years from a University of California, Irvine historian on the grounds that releasing them could cause ‘military retaliation against the United States.‘”

So Yoko might go ballistic?
December 20th, 2006 at 3:06 pmGo see the movie The US vs. John Lennon.
Also, The terrorist you’ve never heard of.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:14 pmNaw, the Liverpudlian Navy would come across the pond and kick our ass.

To shutdown Think Progress?
December 20th, 2006 at 3:17 pmJake you watch too many movies.Time for reality for a change.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:18 pmIsn’t it funny how history repeats itself.
Once again, we have a president who thinks that the government needs to spy on its own citizens and document peace rallies, ’cause that’s what’s “losing the war.”
Makes me wonder what will be revealed about the current administration in 25 years…
December 20th, 2006 at 3:19 pm#5 dick hummer,
Do you know me or how many movies I watch? Actually, I watch very few movies, as if it mattered.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:24 pmScientific proof that Bush was mentally underequipped to do the job?
December 20th, 2006 at 3:26 pmSo government lawyers were paid to fight their release in court for 25 years. {clap….clap…clap} Bravoooooh.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:39 pmGive Peace A Chance.
December 20th, 2006 at 3:46 pmNow, them thar’s fight’n words, if I ever did hear ‘em.
Meanwhile, J. Edgar Hoover was dressing up in women’s clothes and pretending to be Little Bo Peep. (Looking for Shepard Smith?)
At the same time, people were going to jail in Texas for 30 years for smoking a joint.
Sound familiar?
Here we go again…
‘Give Peace A Chance’ is a great song. The Beatles also had a great song in the late ’60s: ‘BACK IN THE USSR.’ I’m familiar with the song, due to my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather’s extensive Beatles record collection.
‘BACK IN THE USSR’ could be the theme song for the Bush administration.
Today, the FBI is probably gathering information about, Burt Bacharach. Kudos to Burt for writing an album about these bums in Washington.
‘DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO LEAVENWORTH’ is a great song.
‘THAT’S WHAT ENEMIES ARE FOR’ is a great song, too. With FRIENDS like these bums, who needs enemies.
John
December 20th, 2006 at 4:31 pmHodes also said disclosure of the documents could subject the government agents involved in the Lennon operation to “public ridicule, ostracism” or even jeopardize their safety.
Well, Hodes was at least right about the “public ridicule.”
December 20th, 2006 at 4:36 pmGOddamn stinky hippie ass patchouli wearin’ gonna mess up my country librul, we gotta take care of these folks…
December 20th, 2006 at 6:17 pmMakes you wonder who they are keeping tabs on now, through the NSA spying for example, and we’ll not know until 25 years from now.

December 21st, 2006 at 2:08 amThat`s right!! Si Byl had nothing to do with the postings.I did it.For one simple reason.unbelievable needed to be exposed for the little lying brat that she is.Since she has been exposed and refused to apologize to the board.The postings have now ceased because of one Zooey had asked me very kindly to stop.Her wish has been granted.
Unbelievable,you seem to sweep what your lying words mean to people as you sweep crumbs off the shelf right into the garbage can.You have no need for anyone but yourself.No details necessary.You have shown your ass.To me.To others.
To all the posters on this board.You have shown your real you.It is a very dark and very ugly person that you are.
I trust you`ll be having no problems with posters here in the future.
And try not to play the victim in this when you are anything but.
