One of the best Radiolab episodes I've heard was Mau Mau[1], which chronicled the uncovering of thousands of documents pertaining to the British Empire in Kenya. The extent to which history must be rewritten is stunning, only to be surpassed by the brutality of the English.
Not that releasing the JFK assassination files would rewrite an extensive period of history, but the precedent remains: the grim truth of history often lies forever buried in the archives of state.
