Knowing what the CIA has done in the last 60 years, it’s hard to credit a system of government that thinks partial declassification every 40 years or so counts as supervision or any kind of meaningful corrective. Letters like this don’t signify anything cool unless they lead to meaningful action, and they usually do not. I wouldn’t be so quick to congratulate the system for such things. This is like having a fancy PnL dashboard that’s updated too late and nobody with power looks at it anyway.
