QUOTE OF THE WEEK: US intel functionary sez our spy agencies are the best, much to the world's pleasure and increase in laughter

Another quote, taken from the New York Times' insanely great (but not in the way intended) Sunday mag piece, "Open Source Spying," in which blogging and wiki-ing geeks within the apparatus will remake central intelligence collection into a formidable weapon for the future.

"The sixteen intelligence organizations of the U.S. are without peer. They are the best in the world. The trick is, are they collectively the best?"

Thus spake Dale Meyerrose, a chief information officer of the military, now a Bush administration-appointed functionary in the office of the director of NATIONAL intelligence.

With official GlobalSecurity.Org Senior Fellow T-shirt on, DD says if you don't laugh at the statement, you'll surely have to cry. Remember, no common sense, critical thinking or recognition of what's transpired in the last few years allowed here!

In related matters, since national intelligence's new blogging and wiki-ing geeks are seemingly convinced that bringing the emergent wisdom of ignorant net-centric masses will be revolutionizing to national security, DD says: The revolution has arrived!

Here, apropos today's other post on the daily demonical menace of daily demonical menaces, the electromagnetic pulse attack, as determined by Google and Wiki.
