Sur Above Top Secret , un mot intéressant de KilgoreTrout :

Thank you for including a reproduction of the letter from what are indeed esteemed historians (in English too, bless you). They represent a cross section of perspectives and interests. Interesting to see Foot there. It is also interesting that they do not request an opening of the 'retained' archives, simply an inquiry. They are right of course that is the priority, without an inquiry it puts all the documents held in British archives under a shroud of suspicion and practically renders Kew an unreliable source. That is not beneficial to anyone.

It would help to know what evidence the Police have compiled against Mr Allen. I am not sure of the legalities of this if the case remains open. Normally information pertaining to a crime cannot be released until it is heard in court. Without a trial, this stays pretty much secret too.

I think that if Ferguson, Beevor, Kershaw et al, are determined to have an inquiry or even a trial they are going to have to push a lot harder. I very much hope that they do.


Résumé : intéressante, la liste des historiens protestataires et notamment la présence en elle de Foot. Tactique peut-être bonne, de demander rapport plutôt que poursuites, celles-ci retardant la manifestation de la vérité. Mais s'ils veulent avoir gain de cause, il faudrait qu'ils se bougent davantage.
