Some time ago the NSA declassified a cache of documents relating to William F. Friedman.
Mr Friedman was chief cryptographer of the Signals Intelligence Service starting in the mid 1930s. He continued as chief cryptographer through the SIS's conversion into the modern NSA, and retired in the early 1960s.
The documents are about 2Gbytes, mostly PDF scans of original paper documents, that comprise his memos, notes, patent applications and patents, appointments, personnel records, meetings, correspondence, etc.
The Friedman files include a bunch of documents about the Pearl Harbor Investigations. Then as now, conspiracy theorists faced with an attack on American soil believed (and many still do) that the attack was a government inside operation perpetrated against the American People by the gummint for their own nefarious purposes, and apparently about 10 years were spent trying to confirm or deny these rumors. As chief cryptographer, Friedman was called into these investigations frequently to testify regarding what US intelligence knew or didn't know, and when they knew it. An interesting side note about this is that if not for this investigation laying bare a lot of information that would otherwise have remained classified, the world probably would never have known about what happened at Bletchley Park in England.
I'm hosting the Friedman Files as a torrent; please download and host if interested. As declassified information it is completely legal and no copyright infringement is taking place.
