"Information concerning activities at the operating location near Groom Lake has been properly determined to be classified, and its disclosure would be harmful to national security," Clinton wrote regarding a presidential determination he issued last Sept. 20. The president annually has signed a similar document declaring information about the base -- known as Area 51 -- to be a secret. A Washington attorney said the timing of the president's letter was tied to litigation pressed by former workers trying to free information to support their claims they were exposed to toxic fumes at the base. Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor who has represented the families, said Tuesday was the deadline for the government to turn over a transcript of a sealed hearing that could show whether government officials lied publicly about the case. "Today, the military was supposed to give (U.S. District) Judge (Philip) Pro the transcript of a very important sealed hearing," Turley said. He said the transcript will reveal what he terms an unclassified discussion in which government attorneys requested information about reporters who had talked to the workers at Area 51, as well as classified manuals about the base that have been widely available on the Internet. Turley said that after the hearing, government attorneys claimed they never asked for such information. "That transcript will show which one of us was lying," said Turley. "Obviously, I can promise you, when the transcript appears, you're going to find the government lied, and then I'm just going to leave it up to the media on what to do." Turley said Clinton's letter to Congress on Tuesday merely reaffirms the government's position that releasing information about Area 51 would threaten national security, on the day the judge is receiving a transcript in the case. "They (government attorneys) are still uncomfortable with releasing this transcript because of the public embarrassment, so they're still making ridiculous security claims, and the presidential determination helps them do that," said Turley. The White House referred questions about Clinton's letter to the National Security Council, which did not respond late Tuesday. The workers and their families have been trying for more than six years to compel the government to admit Area 51 exists and that illegal dumping of hazardous materials occurred there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Give sexy jewelry with passion by Feb. 8th Receive a FREE Gift & FREE Ground shipping Bodyflash.com http://click.egroups.com/1/1059/4/_/1335/_/949551322/ eGroups.com Home: http://www.egroups.com/group/endsecrecy/ http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications Shop for Cars On-Line: http://a-albionic.com/ads/srch.html Forwarded for info and discussion from the New Paradigms Discussion List, not necessarily endorsed by: *********************************** Lloyd Miller, Research Director for A-albionic Research (POB 20273, Ferndale, MI 48220), a ruling class/conspiracy research resource for the entire political-ideological spectrum.
