Here's more:

WASHINGTON -- It may be another 20 years before anyone sees the 600,000 pages of sealed records on the killing of Martin Luther King examined by the House Select Committee on Assassinations.

Some, including academics, researchers and at least one member of that committee, think that's too long, especially for a committee that concluded in 1978 that King's death was the result of a conspiracy.

"King belongs to history, and the incident certainly does," said John Judge, co- founder of the Washington-based Coalition on Political Assassinations, which is meeting Thursday through Sunday in Memphis.

"I don't think it was a good idea for them to have locked up the information in the first place for 50 years when you're coming out with as explosive a conclusion as they did: that there's a probably conspiracy...and then say nobody can look at the files for 50 years."

But the committee that looked at both the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and King in 1978 simply complied with existing House rules, said its chairman, Louis Stokes, a retired congressman from Ohio.

"We had a lot of raw material that would have tended, if released publicly, to defame, embarrass and otherwise effect innocent people," Stokes said. "You cannot just release materials like that, so we followed the House rules and sealed those files under the 50-year rule."

Over the years, efforts to make those sealed records available have been attempted through Freedom of Information Act requests and federal legislation. In 2005, U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., picked up 64 co-sponsors, including many members of the Congressional Black Caucus, for a measure that would have opened the King files as well as sealed court files and grand jury records, too. (Neither U.S. Reps. Harold Ford Jr., D-Tenn., nor Bennie G. Thompson, D- Miss., signed on as co-sponsors, records show.)

The legislation, with an identical Senate bill sponsored by John Kerry, D- Mass., died in committee.

Shortly after he took office last year, U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., had legislation drafted by his staff and circulated to Congressional Black Caucus members, the King family, and others, that would have unsealed the files. After a few months, he quietly withdrew plans to introduce it. There was no support.

Stokes said Cohen asked him about it.

"He called me and I told him I did not know of any necessity for the release of those files," Stokes said.

Cohen said the public deserves to know, but he won't pursue it without more support.

U.S. Rep. Walter E. Fauntroy, who chaired the subcommittee on the King assassination, has called for more than a decade for the investigative files to be unsealed, saying "there won't be any closure on any of this" until they are. Now retired and a Washington-based minister, he did not respond to repeated requests to elaborate.

Judge, the assassination researcher, said he's not indifferent to the King family's wishes or to privacy concerns of other Civil Rights leaders who might be unflatteringly mentioned in the archived material.

But he said provisions can be written into the law to protect those interests while releasing relevant historical records.

"Are we going to wait for everyone to be dead before we find out anything about what happened?" he asked.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spent his last night on Earth having sex with two women at the motel and physically beating and abusing a third.

Sullivan also stated that King had alienated the affections of numerous married women. According to Sullivan, who in 30 years with the Bureau hadáseen everything there was to be seen of the seamy side of life, King was one of only seven people he had ever encountered who was such a total degenerate."

wow.

btw, why is it that records are sealed for years or in some cases forever? (asking rhetorically)
