US Embassy documents from Tehran, 1979

American documents on Iran at The Memory Hole -- via Sobaka, so I'll let them explain:
This just in - Russ Kick at The Memory Hole just posted 400 pages of documents once thought shredded by the US Embassy staff in Tehran when the students took over back in 1979. The students, however, took the shreds and reassembled the top secret documents.

The reconstituted documents aren't presented in any particular order, so they present a sort of dadaist view of the last days in Tehran. Makes for interesting reading.
