In this file photo from April 30 1998, Poland’s Cold War spy, Ryszard Kuklinski greets steel mill workers in Nowa Huta, southern Poland. From behind the Iron Curtain, Kuklinski passed some 35,000 pages of Warsaw Pact secrets to the CIA, including the communist government's plan to impose martial law in 1981 and launch a brutal crackdown on the pro-democracy Solidarity movement. He was spirited out of Poland with his wife and two sons shortly before the Dec. 13, 1981 military crackdown, and the family lived in hiding in the U.S. Poland’s military court sentenced him to death for treason and desertion. The charges were lifted in 1998 and Kuklinski came on a visit.(AP Photo/Czarek Sokolowski)
