Poland releases Warsaw Pact files
Poland's new defence minister has announced he is declassifying the country's
Warsaw Pact files.
Radoslaw Sikorski said the files, which had remained secret until now, will
be open to historians at the state-run Institute of National Remembrance.

The institute investigates war crimes in the Communist era.

I have mixed feeling about this. I can see why they have done so but at the
same time, it won't help with the current relations or the release of
the 'Katyn files'. And to be honest I think the stuff they have shown is
probably the tip of the iceberg of what lies in the Moscow archives, which
we'll never see anyway.
Hmmm.. I have to dig up and see if prof.Bartoszewski has commented on this.

        You don't simply bend every time to the will of the stronger country. For the
        same reason USA is the only former British colony which is not present at
        the "British Commonwealth" sumits...no wander why. This is problem sorts of;
        which came first; egg or the chicken....?

          You got that bit right.

        Yes and it's not getting any better. I think politicians should be more
        patient when experimenting with such documents. It's all cat and mouse...

          I wish i could tell you about how Putin took a "bribe in kind" off a mate of
          mine some time ago. A wonderful story, but not one I could repeat on the net.
