Think about it though if you really want to or have to have it before you order it. I paid 50 bucks for this through the FOIA a few years back and you really
can't get much out of it IMO. A lot of it is blacked out. I didn't think it was worth it.

That doesn't sound so good, then. Why is a lot of it blackened out, what's the point?

Franny the stuff thats blacked out, is blacked out because the U.S. government has decided people don't need to see it. So its either Classified because it would put someone at risk, or leave someone innocent named in the file open to harassment etc. or someone they're still looking at is named. It could be one of 1000 reasons. IMO it was a rip off at any price but thats just me, someone else might find something of use in it.
