Military Intelligence has released a list of the secrets that have been recovered and those that are still at large. Among the recovered secrets:

• The B2 Stealth Bomber is just a decoy made out of balsa wood and black paper; smart bombs are actually delivered by UPS
• Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone; the FBI and Secret Service were so embarrassed by their failure to protect the President from some wandering nutjob that they spent the next 30 years trying to create the impression there had been some kind of conspiracy
• A 1989 Cheers episode that made reference to the Kennedy assassination was seized by the CIA minutes before it was scheduled to air; the tape went missing, and so far 11 American civilians have been killed in the effort to prevent it reaching a wider audience
• Aging Cuban guerillas launched a successful coup in Washington DC while the nation's attention was focussed on the last episode of Sex and the City. President-for-Life Fidel Castro described it as "a good day to bury good news".
