JFK documents publicized

Very recently, the US government publicized many documents relevant to the assassination of John F Kennedy.

They included memorandums written by CIA and FBI. Most of them had been concealed from the public for security reasons.

The Guardian: JFK documents: what we have learned so far

The publicized documents told us many things. However, some documents remain secret since Donald Trump has accepted CIA and FBI's request not to make them published.

In my opinion, the US policy in which official documents should be publicized several decades after they are made is admirable. It is historians' responsibility to evaluate the decision making of the contemporary government. The government can never accomplish it. Though it is unfortunate that not all documents have been publicized, the US will learn many things from the past through academic discussion.
