Our Man in Budapest, yesterday

Probably not for the last time, but the CIA has again found that the internet is not as manageable as they would like.

According to the Chicago Tribune, and as reported by our ABC via AFP, a nice bit of internet searching by some journalists has uncovered the names and locations of:

  • 26,000 CIA operatives
  • 50 internal phone numbers
  • CIA spooks attached to US embassies in Europe
  • the location of two dozen ‘top secret’ installations, including ‘front companies’ and
  • the airplanes used to whisk terror suspects off to countries where torture is allowed.

Unfortunately, the paper didn’t release any details but no doubt the junior reporters involved got an ‘A’ for their Practical Research assignment.
