The Point Of Hiding Nothing
There wasn't much news in today's Wikileak leak of the CIA Red Cell document. And that was the main point, as Marcy Wheeler indicates.
Besides the obvious fact that the US has its own exported terrorists operating throughout the world for definite terror organizations from Al Qaeda to even an Irish outfit looking to take back Northern Ireland from Britain (go figure), the Wikileaks leak basically showed nothing except, well, everything.
How the US intelligence community over-classifies items is essential to seeing how they want to virtually keep everything they do or think secret nowadays, even the non-scattering juicy stuff.
But in this ever growing online world, they sure do look silly trying to do so.
