A tale of two releases

During the Bush administration, millions of pages of information was classified or re-classified. The National Security Archive, a nonprofit research facility that files hundreds of FOIA requests each year, discovered that a 1975 Defense Intelligence Agency document on former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet had been declassified in full and released in 1999 but re-classified in part in 2003 with major redactions. Within that four-year period, the agency apparently realized it had let out major "secrets" including the image of Pinochet as well as his tendency toward modest living and his affinity for scotch and pisco sours.
