WASHINGTON, May 13 (UPI) -- Eight million pages of U.S. documents released Thursday reveal new evidence of U.S. intelligence agencies' close involvement with Nazi war criminals and indicate U.S. agents knew about Germany's plans for genocide sooner than thought.

The revelations have aroused debate about current U.S. intelligence practices and cast shadows over the record of U.S. officials who knew that Nazi Germany was rounding up and killing Jews by the millions but did little to stop it.

"As the world scrutinizes us today, we can hold up this project (to declassify the documents) and say we were willing to look at the worst and hold up the truth," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., at a National Archives news conference. snip

Naftali said the newly released records indicate five of Nazi Lt. Col. Adolf Eichmann's associates, all Holocaust perpetrators, worked for the CIA after World War II. snip

Besides revealing U.S. intelligence connections to Nazi war criminals, the documents show U.S. intelligence knew about Nazi genocide earlier than thought.

The documents show that U.S. agents conducted in-depth interviews in 1941 and 1942 with Jews who had escaped Germany or German-occupied territories. Some of those interviews included details of Hitler's campaign to kill all European Jews.

might make me believe in humanity...even a little bit...please...? too early to have a drink....

Incumbents with Bush's numbers at this stage of an election campaign invariably lose.

that did it.

reporting at least part of the truth... if they do, we have some hope to start working out of the nightmarish muck we are in now.

:shrug:

despite the fact that our government has been taken over by a bunch of extreme right wing corporatists and dominionist theocrats . . . despite the fundamentalist Christians whose influence far exceeds their numbers . . . despite a militaristic foreign policy predicated on realizing U.S. hegemony in every corner of the world . . .

despite all that and more, I still believe that the vast majority of Americans are good, fair-minded people who want to "live and let live," who appreciate the diversity of humankind and are accepting of other cultures and religions, who want peace and hate war, and who will, if given the facts, vote BushCo out of office in November . . .

(caveat: that's not to say that BushCo won't figure out a way to stay in office anyhow . . . but even their venality does not negate the essential goodness of the American people . . . which will, in the end, prevail . . .)

:shrug:

just curious...

I see are about the US staying out of the war for so long, and continuing to trade with Nazi germany.

I have to have a pinch of salt for UPI... nice to see that it's elsewhere
