FBI To Cut Up Unabomber Papers

X-Acto knives in hand, FBI employees are poised to manually redact a mountain of documents--20,000 pages of which are handwritten--that were seized from the Montana cabin of Ted Kaczynski, the convicted Unabomber.

I can't read this at work so I don't know if the answer is in the article, but F-ing WHY!? What's to redact? It's not like he knew any state secrets that can't be revealed. Just because you don't like what he said or did doesn't mean you need to permanently destroy it. It's historically useful at a minimum. Frakkin' stupid gov't.

The archivist in me is bothered they would slice and dice up historical documents like this. Egads.
