NSA, dood, let's be sure to keep the major sources of national defense misinformation that lead to ridiculous assessments and ill-informed actions that permanently damage the nation's image and respectability in the world straight, okay?ORIGINAL: Onime No Kyo
Pas on the other hand.... Pas, what was it you did for the CIA....errr, Air Force again?
I mean, when you have dozens of sources of raw intelligence that dutifully pass it on to the next higher level where a bunch of nincompoops make arbitrary, stupid decisions about what to retain and what to discard while creating nonsense summaries based on ridiculous personal judgments and sophisticated assessments of the kind that led, for example, to the neat lining-up on the airfields of the fighter defense forces before Pearl Harbor for slaughter by any incursive force, like hostile Japanese or even p1ssed-off penguins, then repeat the process through half-a-dozen ludicrous levels of analysis and reportage until a final document titled "Daily Intelligence Summary" is created and laid on the president's night stand (in whosever townhouse or apartment it might be - see, he has to stay in touch at all times) for his examination and action, what can you expect but perfection?
I was a proud participant at many levels in that process, but take even greater pride in creating the above sentence, which is unbelievably long, opaque and nonsensical in its own right, kind of like my years of service to the intelligence community...
So did you know about Gorbachev?
