Slashdot Mirror
Top Secret America
mahiskali writes "The Washington Post published an immense interactive website today, detailing the companies and government agencies currently doing top secret work in the United States. Everything from counter-IED operations to human intelligence is touched upon. Citing various interviews with 'super users' and through exhaustive analysis of public records for over two years, this interactive site allows users to peer into the guarded world of top secret intelligence. With more than 854,000 people currently holding a TS clearance, has the defense and intelligence world grown too big, too fast? Or has this large growth served us well, exemplified by no successful terrorist acts on US soil since 9/11? How can we judge the success of these programs, when much of it will never be known by the general public?"
FTFY

Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm!
Lisa: That’s specious reasoning, dad.
Homer: Why thank you, honey.
Lisa: By your logic, I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Hmm. How does it work?
Lisa: It doesn’t work; it’s just a stupid rock!
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don’t see any tigers around, do you?
Homer: Hmm... Lisa, I want to buy your rock.
For most Americans, the day after 9/11 they found Iraq.
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Yes, the terrorists attack the number 0.81818181818181818181818181818182 all the time. I rounded it up to prevent any real damage to the poor little thing.
Free Martian Whores!

well I have a rock too .. and it keeps terr'rists *and* elephants at bay. And at $50 its a steal compared to a rock that only does one thing.
The reason I am selling it is because I want to get one of those K-Tel rocks .. man they are sweet .. they keep everything at bay!
I am Slashdot. Are you Slashdot as well?
In Iran, rocks punish adultery.

I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
Paper covers rock. Spock vaporizes rock.

That's odd. My rock created or saved 3.6 million jobs. I wonder why they aren't all the same.
This is clearly flamebait. And since I as a US citizen have a distaste for shit talking europeans
It sure is! Most people don't bother pointing that out at the beginning of their posts... well done.
You can't take the sky from me...
