i just thought this was funny...


LANGLEY, VA—A report released Tuesday by the CIA's Office of the Inspector General revealed that the CIA has mistakenly obscured hundreds of thousands of pages of critical intelligence information with black highlighters.




CIA Director Porter Goss.According to the report, sections of the documents— "almost invariably the most crucial passages"—are marred by an indelible black ink that renders the lines impossible to read, due to a top-secret highlighting policy that began at the agency's inception in 1947.

CIA Director Porter Goss has ordered further internal investigation. "Why did it go on for this long, and this far?" said Goss in a press conference called shortly after the report's release. "I'm as frustrated as anyone. You can't read a single thing that's been highlighted. Had I been there to advise Allen Dulles, I would have suggested the traditional yellow color—or pink." Goss added: "There was probably some really, really important information in these documents."

"And no-one saw it coming..."

One more question: how long will it go on? O yes, of course, it won't. We have just been assured thereof, right? And we will take the CIA on its word. After all, they are doing such a tremendous job...
