US to Unearth Latin America Files
US agencies will declassify thousands of documents related to Washington s political incursions in Latin America during the last 25 years.

However, spokespeople of the National Security Archive and George Washington University noted that the public will not have access to those files until Dec 31, and many of them will be destroyed by intelligence experts.

People will learn about the Iran-Contra scandal, the administration of former president Ronald Reagan and events of the Mexican politics in the 60s.

This is the first time that secret documents of the US government come to light after 25 years in accordance with an executive clause issued by then-president William Clinton a decade ago.
