An op-ed in the NYT about U.S. relations with Iran, by Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann, as redacted by the CIA’s Publication Review Board; the CIA found no classified material in the article and saw no reason to edit it, but the White House insisted.
The Times ran the article with black marks over the text in question, but also published a companion piece by Leverett and Mann containing sources for the redacted sections; the online version has links to those sources, which inlude such super-top-secret locations as USA Today and administration press briefings.
Your government doesn't trust you.
Someone should go through the sources they linked to and reconstruct the redacted portions of the op ed piece.

Ah, Ed, just when I think you are some kind of leftist freakjob, you write a real libertarian piece like this.
Bless you, man.
