五角大楼重大文件外泄

拜登管治团队正冲忙地评估及处理关于五角大楼机密文件遭泄漏的余波。这并不是第一次有机密情资由拜登的管治团队泄漏的消息,而本次事件比过往的更为严重。今次的高度敏感文件包含了美国如何暗中查探她的盟友。她的对手上月曾出现在一个名叫“不和谐”的社交媒体网站。该贴文附有一照片,照片中为一些机密文件被放于一本于枱上的一本杂志之上,并且被一些随机物品包围。那些文件全部都附有最高级的分类——最高机密。那五十三份文件被认为是在二月中至三月初产生。社交媒体网站“不和谐”的一位代表确认,他们的团队现正配合执法部门作出调查。 一份文件亦揭露美国情报人员曾经监听乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基。乌克兰官方表示即使泽连斯基管治团队对于被监视并不感到意外,但对于泄漏仍然感到深度挫败。 另一值得注视的消息为两名国家安全的南韩高级官员就美国要求弹药一事的对话。那段对话的内容细节是南韩官员担忧若供应弹药给即将会把弹药送至乌克兰的美国,会违反韩国不供应致命武器给战争中国家的政策。那文件亦提到一位官员的建议,以回避该政策但又并没有实际改变事情——就是出售弹药给波兰。该文件的细节引起了在首尔的争议。 另一具争议的情资报告是关于以色列。该份由美国中情局人员编写的报告指出以色列的主要情报机关曾经鼓吹反对以色列新政府的示威活动。 美国的盟友正在进行损害评估,以决定她们各自的来源及方法是否因该被泄漏的文件而有所损害。泄漏使美国感到挫败并且威望受损。直至今日,最重要的盟友仍未收到美国正进行损害评估及找出泄密者的简报。 图片来源: https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-cryptic-character-codes-and-magnifying-glass-on-table-top-7319068/
