You're not missing much. First it gets mad that the CIA kept a file on Chomsky, then it gets mad that they destroyed this file. And finally, it gets mad that, after the file was destroyed, they couldn't retrieve it anymore.
- RyanMcGreal 13y agoThat was a surprisingly petulant and inaccurate summary of the article.

- RyanMcGreal 13y agoThe CIA has spent years denying that it created a file on Noam Chomsky, but an FOI request has now uncovered an FBI document referencing the CIA file. The CIA file was destroyed at some point, and it is not clear whether that was done in accordance with the Federal Records Act.
- raldi 13y agoWhat's your citation for the claim that the CIA denied ever creating a file? All I see is denials that the file existed at the time of the FOIA requests, and nothing to suggest those denials were untruthful.
