At midnight on Dec. 31, hundreds of millions of pages of secret documents were instantly declassified, including many FBI cold war files on investigations of people suspected of being Communist sympathizers. After years of extensions sought by federal agencies behaving like college students facing a term paper, the end of 2006 means the government’s first automatic declassification of records.

This includes 270 million pages at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has lagged most agencies in reviews.
