Atomic Weapons Establishment Aldermaston (26 Mar 2008)

Jeremy Corbyn: ...risk was extremely low, and therefore acceptable "when balanced against the strategic imperative to move nuclear weapons."

They were obviously CIA documents, and it will now be hard to understand what was in them, but many others were very revealing, The USA's freedom of information law allows us that kind of information.
