The CIA "Skeletons" file from the 1970s is now online. Snip:

The Central Intelligence Agency violated its charter for 25 years until revelations of illegal wiretapping, domestic surveillance, assassination plots, and human experimentation led to official investigations and reforms in the 1970s, according to declassified documents posted today on the Web by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.

CIA director Gen. Michael Hayden announced today that the Agency is declassifying the full 693-page file amassed on CIA's illegal activities by order of then-CIA director James Schlesinger in 1973--the so-called "family jewels." Only a few dozen heavily-censored pages of this file have previously been declassified, although multiple Freedom of Information Act requests have been filed over the years for the documents. Gen. Hayden called the file "a glimpse of a very different time and a very different Agency."

Update: Noah Shachtman tells BoingBoing,

I'm continuing to blog my way through the CIA "family jewels" -- and already turning up some crazy stuff. Think "behavioral drugs." And Nixon-era spies who were more reluctant to do widespread electronic surveillance than many of Bush's spooks. Link.
