Copy-and-Paste Reveals Classified U.S. Documents
cyclop writes "In March, U.S. troops in Iraq shot to death Nicola Calipari, the Italian intelligence agent that rescued the kidnapped journalist Giuliana Sgrena. U.S. commission on the incident produced a report which public version was censored for more than one third. Now Italian press is reporting that all confidential information in the report is available to the public, just by copying "hidden" text from the PDF and pasting it in a word processor (Italian). The uncensored report can now be directly downloaded (evil .DOC format, sorry)"
I trust you will do the right thing.
This is now a known known.
Facebook is a woodpecker tapping on the skull of Humanity, Forever.
Way to go Yossarian!
Does that mean the government is guilty of entrapment for releasing a PDF with the classified text included?
I'd like to see them try to prosecute this.
I know nothing! I just click all the links on a slashdot page and hope for the best!
Hidden text?! What were they thinking!
"In God we trust"?
This summary makes the most sense I've seen in a long time :)
Wow! This is a HUGE accomplishment here on /. !
Thank you.

What? It was a PDF? You mean people can do stupid things with software that isn't made by Microsoft?
I think this falls under the same category as the famous Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy:
"I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real quick and hand it to him."
If a job's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right.
Area 51
Greys
JFK Assassination
Hilary Clinton
No instances found. Damn.
The report is unclassified because they BLACKED OUT all the classified parts, which they figured out how to get around.
Q: "How can you tell a politician's lying?"
A: "The lips are moving!"
Was that footage taken by the same satellite that showed chemical weapons factories in Iraq?
Furthermore, the aliens obtained in Roswell have been transported to R24 along with Specialist Peck for observation.
I knew it!!!

> And also troop were flashing lights and fired warning shots that were ignored, so the car appeared to be a hostile enemy.
Of course. Because they wanted to be killed to embarass americans.
And they probably had WMD in the car.
"Should I expect less if I make jerky motions into my pockets when a police officer pulls me over for a routine traffic accident?"
As a road-user, I find it worrying that you'd consider any traffic accident "routine" (ignoring for a moment the whole "shoot anyone who looks at you funny" argument)
keep hoping
Yes! Evil rules! Good can suck it! Suck it, good!
So would I, considering that the people distributing it are in Italy and therefore not subject to US law.
Sadam Hussien thought he wasn't subject to US law either. Guess where he's at right now?
I feel a great disturbance in the Net, as if millions of geeks stampeded to yafro.com, and then were silent but for gentle fapping.
Do you love freedom??? Do you love freedom!!! DO YOU LOVE FREEDOM!!!!!!!!
Ooooh, seeeeecret!

Have you seen the Bush twins? If I can get a date with one of them, then this all might have been worth it...
...would have learned from their mistakes.
Are you talking about PDFs or Vietnam?
Don't explain with ill will what can be explained with stupidity.
Day 0.
Grunt 1: Hey, wake up! Some car just passed by!
Grunt 2: dadadadadadadada! *shooting*
Grunt 1: Hey, stop! I didn't say shoot, just wake up and check them!
Grunt 2: They got away already, screw them.
Day 1:
Drone 1: Shit, grunts screwed up. Write up something to cover it up.
Drone 2: Any info about what happened?
Drone 1: All classified. Will take years to get through the administration, and we need something NOW. Make something up.
Drone 2: Okay.
Day 2:
Drone 1: Okay, but they won't buy... this VIP road part, she already said they were on that road already... and that front shooting part. The car has been shot from behind. The rest looks believable enough.
Drone 2: Ok, erasing these. (Crtl+X, save.)
Drone 1: Looks fine, send to the press.

So be prepared to the near future, where the people that is supposed to be protecting you be against you ;) (even your own computer will be against you, remember that)

They'll never believe you actualy RTFA.
You are more than the sum of what you consume. Desire is not an occupation.
I think anyone, italian or american, can figure out the reason for this disagreement by watching a cowering family of american tourists trying to cross the street in Rome or any other large italian city.
:-)
god, yes. I'll never forget the first time I tried to cross a roman street. It took a good five minutes or so to realize that taking advantage of a 'break' in traffic involves jumping in front of a fast moving car and hoping he sees you and slows down while you decide whether the next lane is safer to jump into.. all those years of frogger really paid off.
So long, and thanks for all the Phish
Kind of sounds... Arabic to me. Probably al Quaeda's chief county-intelligence chief if he's single-handedly breaking the United States' best encryption methods.
Shouldn't we be bringing him and everyone at Slashdot who has obviously associated with him numerous times in to Gitmo for "questioning"?
