And the FBI has released the last remaining documents in its secret file on the musician John Lennon. Lennon was monitored over his involvement in antiwar activities and his vocal opposition to President Richard Nixon. The U.S. government saw Lennon as such a serious threat that President Nixon attempted to have him deported. The release of the files comes more than 20 years after the author and history professor Jon Wiener requested them. Wiener says he was told at the time the files contain “national security” information and could cause “military retaliation against the United States.” According to Wiener, the newly released documents contain well-known information on Lennon’s contacts with dissident leaders in Britain in the early 1970s. Wiener said, “I doubt that Tony Blair’s government will launch a military strike on the U.S. in retaliation for the release of these documents. Today, we can see that the national security claims that the FBI has been making for 25 years were absurd from the beginning.” Wiener has posted the documents on the website LennonFBIFiles.com.
