P.O. Box 1142

It’s one of the most important addresses you’ve never heard of

An offhand comment from a park visitor unveiled the untold story of a secret Virginia facility where clever interrogation techniques and good old-fashioned eavesdropping helped secure victory in World War II. Now the Park Service is racing to unearth all the details before the last remaining witnesses vanish.

What a neat tale! Go read all of it, and remember there have been times when government programs actually worked.

   Thanks! What a great story. I especially like that they could get so much information without using torture.

   This is a great story. I wonder how much stuff like this is still out there?
