智能举报人法律很少使用：根据2009年ODNI监察长的最近发布的报告，情报机构举报机构举报人很少依靠《情报界举报人保护法》（ICWPA）。从1999年到2009年，Inspector General（OIG）的情报机构办公室说，仅提出了十个举报人投诉。

Security-Cleared Population Rises to 5.1 Million:The number of Americans who have been investigated and deemed eligible for access to classified information rose last year to a total of 5,150,379 as of October 2013. It was the fourth consecutive year of growth in the security-cleared population. Of the 5.1 million persons who were found eligible for access to classified information, 60% had access in fact.

美越核合作和from CRS:Secrecy News has obtained recently released CRS reports on topics such as current U.S. policy in Ukraine, U.S.-Vietnam Nuclear Cooperation Agreement and major U.S. arms sales to Pakistan since 2001.

Did CIA Violate the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause?:根据国会研究服务局的分析，中央情报局可能通过对参议院情报委员会计算机进行未经授权的搜索来违反了宪法的讲话或辩论条款。演讲或辩论条款（在第一条第6条中，《宪法》第1条）通常使国会议员免于对其立法职责的行动责任。但这也为国会文件提供了特权保护，以防止强制性或非自愿披露。中央情报局可能违宪侵犯了这一特权。

Missing the Open Source Center/ World News Connection:At the end of 2013, the CIA decided to terminate public access to its translations of foreign news reports by the Open Source Center and available to the public by NTIS World News Connection via paid subscription since 1974. An effort to reverse the CIA move and to restore public access is beginning to take shape, but the prospects for success are uncertain.

新解密的情报卫星图像很难访问：The declassification of historical intelligence satellite imagery has helped scientists and other researchers since President Clinton signed executive order 12951. But last year’s declassification of imagery from the KH-9 HEXAGON intelligence satellite will be slower to generate any such revolutionary impact because the newly declassified images are so hard to access and to use. Steven Aftergood writes that the archival burden on the National Archives and Records Administration is growing faster than the available resources. The task of curating the nation’s documentary heritage appears to be escalating out of control.
