CIA's 'Family Jewels' On Comedy Central

National Security Archive Director Tom Blanton will appear on "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central Wednesday night to talk about the CIA's recently publicized "family jewels." It will be "national security discourse like you have never seen it before," an archive spokeswoman said in an e-mail. The humorous news program airs at 11:30 p.m. ET.

The CIA fought to keep the intelligence records -- nicknamed "the family jewels" -- secret for more than three decades but released hundreds of them on Tuesday. The papers show intelligence abuses of the Cold War, including assassination plots against foreign leaders and illegal efforts to spy on Americans.

Blanton's archive made the full 703-page collection available as a searchable PDF document on its Web site. Happy reading!
