WEB LEAK SPOOKS THE SPOOKS; SECRET CIA DOCS END UP ONLINE
A secret CIA report of the U.S. intelligence community has been
posted on the Internet!
The CIA briefing, prepared for visiting Japanese intelligence
officials has appeared on CRYPTOME, an Internet site
[ http://jya.com/crypto.htm ], which is run by activists opposed
to government secrecy.
CRYPTOME's webmaster, John Young, tells Sunday's WASHINGTON POST
that he posted the secret CIA document, together with lists
naming hundreds of agents from Japan's Public Security
Investigation Agency, after receiving the documents from
a source in Japan.
CIA officials have not asked Young to remove the briefing, but
two FBI agents called him on Thursday and forwarded a request
from the Japanese Ministry of Justice that the lists be removed.
"Young refused, saying publication of the lists contributed to
public awareness of how government agencies function," reports
the POST.
