CIA Declassifies Oldest Documents in U.S. Government Collection  (April 19, 2011)
     The Central Intelligence Agency today declassified the United States Government's six oldest classified documents, dating from 1917 and 1918. These documents, which describe secret writing techniques and are housed at the National Archives, are believed to be the only remaining classified documents from the World War I era. Documents describing secret writing fall under the CIA's purview to declassify.
     "These documents remained classified for nearly a century until recent advancements in technology made it possible to release them," CIA Director Leon E. Panetta said. "When historical information is no longer sensitive, we take seriously our responsibility to share it with the American people."
     One document outlines the chemicals and techniques necessary for developing certain types of secret writing ink and a method for opening sealed letters without detection. Another memorandum dated June 14, 1918 - written in French - reveals the formula used for German secret ink.
     "The CIA recognizes the importance of opening these historical documents to the public," said Joseph Lambert, the Agency's Director of Information Management Services. "In fiscal year 2010 alone, the Agency declassified and released over 1.1 million pages of documents."
     The documents will be available on CIA.gov and in the CIA Records Search Tool (CREST) at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland. CREST currently houses over 10 million pages of declassified Agency documents. Since 1995, the Agency has released over 30 million pages as a result of Executive Orders, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Privacy Act, and mandatory declassification reviews.

Wrong Timing (III)

   在不遠處的一個街角,有一雙眼睛注視著佇立在橋上的殷賞,但這雙眼的主人卻似是對她奇怪的一舉一動視若無睹,也似是毫不自覺地把玩著手上一張長方形紙張。
   「你見到的來到的是我而不是昇,覺得失望。」這不是一個問題,所以殷賞沒答話,明顯也不想跟這個隨意玩弄感情的女人多說一個多餘的字。
   「余家昇係邊?」
   「佢同我一齊黎意大利,不過佢今日冇黎。我今次,係受佢所託來給你一個交待,一個真相。」
   真相。曾幾何時,真相在殷賞心中佔據著何等重要的地位,是支撐著她去毫無保留地相信余家昇的核心支柱。但到現在,當她發現對余家昇已不如以前那麼在乎的時候,曾經重於泰山的真相,已因它與余家昇成正比的關係而悄悄地變得輕於鴻毛。Good。
   「警隊內部有明文規定,為了臥底的安全,任何進行中或已結束的臥底任務都不可向任何人透露,我今日將會告訴你的內容,你不可向任何第3者提起,包括當事人在內。我和昇都不可以讓任何人知道我們曾犯這規則。」
   「我記得你有一次問的昇係唔係我的男朋友。我告訴你不是。那是假的。我同昇已經拍左拖幾年,就係佢同Doris分左手之後開始。警隊內部明文規定同一組的警員不可以有情侶關係,佢要又開始另一個臥底任務,我地只好轉為發展地下情。余家昇做臥底的時候如有機會便應不惜一切在將臥底身份保密的情況下獲悉最多資訊。由於你和閆器的關係,你便成為其中一個獲得線索的途徑。昇發覺了你在這段虛假的關係中越陷越深,也曾經不忍再傷害你這個無太大關係的第三者,但佢亦清楚任務大於一切,佢同我都只能絕對服從指令。到佢le個任務結束之後,已經升了職,現在和我平起平坐,分隊不同了。所以我們已經結婚。我地係honeymoon 路過Venice的,待會兒我就會合佢去法國南部繼續行程。」
   「我對閆生都係假的。我知道佢對我既感情非常認真,所以我非常明白昇的感受,亦理解佢為何沒有面目見你。我同昇都知道佢對你的傷害之深,是用什麼都無法彌補的。這張支票請你收下。我地都希望你會明白我地既歉意,會可以儘快開展一段新生活。」
   CUT﹗STOP﹗le個方案太多破綻了。殷賞一回到香港,見到昇便知道那是假的,而且這對我一手塑造的理智、絕對客觀的形象有深遠的負面影響。
   目標移動中﹗目標向Café 方向移動中。Linda知道自己沒有太多時間作考慮了,她不能拖延下去。從在香港正監視著家昇的手足的口中,她知道家昇已發現她做了什麼,正乘搭下一班飛機趕來Venice,估計二時會到達。在與殷賞見面之後,她還要向家昇交代。她絕對不能讓他們碰面。絕對不能。
   突然,一個絕妙的方案在她眼前浮現。
   她什麼都不用做。
