CIA plans to destroy old files related to leaks (http://www.thedailybeast.com/cia-plans-to-destroy-some-of-its-old-leak-files)
Leaked files, as of now, need to be saved permanently, but if this new protocol goes into effect, they can be destroyed 30 years after a case has been officially closed. The plan was set forth by the CIA in 2012
In 2016, the CIA’s Inspector General, a watchdog for the agency, “mistakenly”destroyed the only copy it had of a 6,7000 page report on CIA torture techniques that took years for the Senate Intelligence Committee to compile.
Mara Hawkings, NARA acting director, said, “unique information on its own does not directly equate to whether records should be scheduled as permanent or temporary under NARA’s appraisal policy.”
Cables related to the US’s involvement in a 1953 coup in Iran were destroyed by the agency while conducting an office move.
Hawkings goes on to state that the spy agency’s cache of documents include disclosures of leaks that are intentional and unintentional. She did, however, agree that the CIA should not have discarded the Iranian coup cables and said it “is regrettable,”
NSA stores “several hundred times the volume of the Library of Congress every single day as part of its global eavesdropping operations,”
A CIA proposal to destroy files deemed no longer of historical importance has been authorized. Critics are questioning how honest the agency will be when it comes to the purging of potentially serious files.
