		The archbishop had tried to minimize reports of his collaboration, which surfaced two weeks after Pope Benedict XVI named him to the job on Dec. 6, insisting that his contacts with the country’s feared Sluzba Bezpieczenstwa, or Security Service, were benign and routine.
		Bishop Wielgus has maintained that his collaboration with the S.B., as the Sluzba Bezpieczenstwa was known, did not involve spying on anyone and did not hurt anyone.
		Nonetheless, any cooperation between the Polish clergy and the S.B. is troubling to Poles, as it is to people all over the former Soviet bloc, because of the Catholic Church under the Polish-born Pope John Paul II was considered a beacon of hope and encouragement to people fighting Communist oppression.

		The Vatican's spokesperson, Federico Lombardi, said, "Despite his humble and moving request for forgiveness, his resignation from the Warsaw See and the Holy Father's quick acceptance of it appears as an appropriate solution to the situation of disorientation that has been created in that nation".
		Archbishop Wielgus was named in December to succeed Cardinal Jozef Glemp, but was accused by the conservative Gazeta Polska weekly newspaper of having been a "trusted collaborator" for 22 years of Poland's Sluzba Bezpieczenstwa, or SB.
		The allegation was deplored by Wielgus' supporters in Poland and was originally rejected by the Vatican, whose press office said Pope Benedict XVI had shown "full confidence" in the archbishop after taking "account of all his life circumstances, including those connected with his past".

		The Wielgus affair, which exploded over a period of two brief weeks, is the first time allegations of collaboration have touched a man who subsequently became a member of the Polish hierarchy.
		The IPN materials are what the FBI would call “raw files”: everything the Sluzba Bezpieczenstwa (the Polish secret police, or SB) had on anyone was dumped, undigested, into these files, which were eventually archived in the IPN after the fall of communism.
		Agents, eager to enhance their own reputations, were not above making things up to meet their quota of “information” (Wielgus, for example, was said to speak Spanish, which he doesn’t).

		Mr Kaczynski said the proposed law, which would declare the secret police, the Sluzba Bezpieczenstwa, a criminal organisation, would be introduced to parliament soon, and would "free Poland of the last traces of communism by removing all the privileges of individuals responsible for the crimes and repression of the totalitarian state".
		Mr Kaczynski, who became Prime Minister last year, has promised with his twin brother, the President, Lech Kaczynski, to cleanse Poland of the lingering secret police presence.

		When initially courted, he was known by the code name "Dominik." After his recruitment it became "Hejnal" (Signal).
		It appears that, technically, Hejmo never signed an affidavit formalizing his status as an "secret collaborator." Instead, he was classified as an "operational contact." Hejmo's recruiter and case officer was Colonel Waclaw Glowacki of the Security Service (Sluzba Bezpieczenstwa -- SB).
		Before his transfer to civilian intelligence after 1982, Glowacki was with the 5th Section of the IV (anti-Church) Department of the interior ministry.

		In mid-1991, almost a year after the "Velvet Revolution" in Czechoslovakia, KGB officers were identified in Prague assisting Czechoslovak intelligence officers of the StB (Statni Bezpecnost) in the creation and funding of a front company whose purpose it was to acquire embargoed Western technology.
		At the same time, former members of the Polish Intelligence Service SB (Sluzba Bezpieczenstwa) were being similarly treated by the KGB.
		The bottom line with respect to the former surrogates is that they may now have doubled their reasons for continuing in their previous pursuits: national economic development and serving with their former colleagues of the KGB.
