The National Security Archives at George Washington University is making the CIA "family jewels" documents available as PDFs. "The full "family jewels" report, released today by the Central Intelligence Agency and detailing 25 years of Agency misdeeds, is now available on the Archive's Web site. The 702-page collection was delivered by CIA officers to the Archive at approximately 11:30 this morning -- 15 years after the Archive filed a Freedom of Information request for the documents. The report is available for download in its entirety and is also split into five smaller files for easier download."

For an example of press coverage of the documents, see CIA Releases Files On Past Misdeeds "Assassination Plots, Domestic Spying Cited", By Karen DeYoung and Walter Pincus Washington Post, June 27, 2007; Page A01.
