Internet Searches Reveal CIA's Secrets

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the those-pesky-interwebs dept.

GabrielF writes "In another blow to the reputation of the agency that just can't seem to get anything right, the Chicago Tribune used web searches and various commercial online databases to uncover a treasure trove of information about the CIA. The Tribune found the identities of over 2600 CIA employees (including an undisclosed number of covert operatives) as well as the locations of over two dozen CIA facilities across the U.S., internal telephone numbers, and information on 17 aircraft."

    ... cause I don't want something like the Chicago Tribune knowing who the heck I am. I already did the NYT thingy... and spam came out the wing-wang! I'll do the spam-email thingy with the CT if I have to, but a mirror would be so much less hassle. On-line links to newspapers are getting like porn sites: make sure you have a ditch account somewhere, your firewall up, and your virus scans active. News stories are the porn of the 21st century... except that they screw you. Open up wide, peeps, and drink it down.

    A government that sometimes acts in secret cannot be said to be a democratic government, because the citizens cannot supervise what they don't know.
    Actually, the US is a Constitution-based federal republic; strong democratic tradition. And actually those "secret" things are actually done with oversight by the people's elected representatives. But I'm sure you're too stupid or brainwashed to bother learning that.

    I'd like to say yes for the simple reason that it's the only thing Bush and the other Republicans say when you try to confront them about their Orwellian wet-dreams.
