The FBI has finally released some papers on John Lennon, and I feel soooo much safer now!I found this part of an article from Harvey Weinstein quite interesting:
"Another document had been blacked out on the grounds of national security when Wiener obtained it more than 20 years ago through litigation brought under the Freedom of Information Act. It is now known that it said two prominent British leftists, Tariq Ali and Robin Blackburn, had courted Lennon in hopes that he would "finance a left-wing bookshop and reading room in London."
But the newly released document adds that Lennon apparently gave them no money "despite a long courtship by Blackburn and Ali."
Then I noticed I'd just read an article by Tariq Ali, he's with the Guardian now? Funny how things happen that way.
But what really got me was the WND article by Rebecca Hagelin. This is the most superficial reading of "Imagine" that you can imagine, well worth the laugh.
Update: And then there's this one by Jon Wiener of the LA Times. Declassified does not mean like, available to read, that's for sure.
