This represents good news for the American people. It has been determined that many documents were improperly stuffed back in the file cabinet when the public should have access. Accountability may not yet be what it should be, but this is a step in the right direction.

"WASHINGTON - The government improperly sealed hundreds of previously public CIA, Pentagon and other records by reclassifying them as secret on questionable grounds, an internal review said Wednesday."
"The ability and authority to classify national security information is a critical tool at the disposal of the government and its leaders," said William Leonard, head of the Archives' information security oversight office, in a briefing with reporters."
"Such a system, Leonard said, is only effective if the 3 million federal workers who decide whether to seal records on national security grounds each day follow clear standards and are kept honest."
"While the audit found numerous instances of improper reclassification, the National Archives declined to release details of what those documents contained, saying it was still working with the agencies to make them public again."
