Memory Hole Un-Redacts Redacted DOJ Memo

DrDNA writes "After a Freedom of Information Act request, the US Justice Department released a study on workplace diversity. However, nearly half of the memo was blacked-out. In what was apparently an incredible goof, it was posted in a PDF format called Image+Text. The folks at The Memory Hole simply removed the image, revealing the redacted text. The redacted text was highly critical of the DOJ's diversity efforts, as the New York Times reports." Folks, if you're going to be sneaky, at least do enough research to make sure you're really being sneaky.

    Why is everyone so quick to jump on Syria?

    Geography.

    If WMDs went into Syria, wouldnt people see? Doesnt the US monitor with spyplanes and satellites?

    Yeah, and just as Desert Storm II was ready to begin we saw lots of traffic going from Iraq to Syria. So much in fact, that Syria had to close its borders. As for the underground tunnels, it's hard to know what exactly went on with them.

    Remember those circled stockpile locations on Colin's map? Do you really think the US is not going to watch where stuff goes?

    Obviously either that intelligence was incorrect or we missed it.

    Wouldn't a herd of trucks and trailers going from one country to another perk up somebody's attention?

    I'm sure somebody noticed. But there's not a whole lot of detail you can get with spy satellites.
