Intelligence Alert: CIA Starts WikiLeaks Task Force (WTF); STFU to Follow

The Washington Post, 22 December

The CIA has launched a task force to assess the impact of the exposure of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables and military files by WikiLeaks.

Officially, the panel is called the WikiLeaks Task Force. But at CIA headquarters [located in Langley, Virginia], it's mainly known by its all-too-apt acronym: W.T.F.

The Borowitz Report follows up the story:

On the heels of forming its new WikiLeaks Task Force (WTF), the CIA said it was establishing a new division called Stop Terrorists From Uniting (STFU).

CIA director Leon Panetta spoke about the agency's plans for both WTF and STFU at the CIA's new headquarters, the Langley Operations Location (LOL).

"We are very excited about these new divisions," Mr. Panetta said. "Here at LOL, the words on everyone's lips are WTF and STFU."

The CIA director said that the agency was about to announce the formation of another new division, the Langley Mobile Foreign Antiterror Organization (LMFAO).

"When we talk about our anti-terror efforts from now on, the first thing you'll think of will be LMFAO," he said.

Mr. Panetta excused himself for a closed door meeting of the National Security Forces Workgroup (NSFW).
