The National Security Archive

The National Security Archive:

New - November 21, 2005
The Guatemalan Police Archives
Images from Guatemala’s secret files of repression

Take a look at the Archive’s front page. Which of these things is not like the other?

The problem I have with this group’s interpretation of its mission is that, if you take their web site at face value, they seem to be suggesting that repression in Guatemala is relevant to our national security. It’s not. Viewed with a sense of scale, nothing that happens in Guatemala is especially important to the USA’s national security.
