[Title Redacted]

It saddens, but does not surprise me to get apparent confirmation from the Justice Dept. that: (1) the CIA harbored and protected former Nazis within the US after WWII; (2) Switzerland can be tied by documentary evidence to knowingly purchasing Nazi gold stolen from Jews; and (3) the Justice Department lied in court about at least one Nazi's past.

What does surprise and anger me is that there is still no sanction imposed on the Executive branch for redactions of publicly available information when they are sued under FOIA. E.g. here, "[e]ven documents that have long been available to the public are omitted, including court decisions, Congressional testimony and front-page newspaper articles from the 1970s." Any administration lawyer who redacts a public court decision, Congressional testimony or a newspaper article should be fired and possibly fined. Obama vowed to end the culture of secrecy in his administration and have it as the most open administration in history. Prove it. Stop the silly redaction game.
