<s>Maybe there will be something TIGHAR doesn't already know?</s>

Any of these "we're going to release the files" events that inevitably results in documents that are more redaction than not reminds me of one of my favorite Onion headlines:

 

[MauleSkinner]

Why would he release the flies? After all that work that went down nto trapping them? And how many jars of flies are there? Are these the original flies, or several generations removed?

So many questions!

In the unlikely event this report leads to some vaguely interesting aviation content, would everyone mind keeping the ball centered and maintaining a healthy margin from the critical angle of attack in this thread?

I saw the headlines about the Earhart files being released and the first question that comes to my mind is why have they been kept locked up?
I wouldn't have thought there'd be anything that secretive in those files.

Unless there's more to the story than the first woman to fly around the world?
