FBI, CIA employees editing Wikipedia entries.

FBI, CIA employees editing Wikipedia entries.
“People using CIA and FBI computers have edited entries in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia on topics including the Iraq war and the Guantanamo prison, according to a new tracing program.” It was not known whether changes were made by an official representative of an agency or company, a CIA spokesman said, but it was certain the change was made by someone with access to the organization’s network.
UPDATE: Steve Benen notes Fox News has been editing Wikipedia entries too. And now that they’ve been caught, Fox News is turning its guns on Wikipedia.

Simple…both sides are corrupt….
Wrong. you said both sides do it (do, present tense) I said repupbs are much worse and gave you a list of current criminals. you ran away. I tracked you down here on this thread and you gave a list that was mostly lies, with one current dem crook. this even when the republcan justice dept was doing it’s best to find and prosecute dems for political reasons. you’re wrong, you’re dumb, you’re a republican.

August 16th, 2007 at 10:26 pmTrue cheese smuggling story: A friend’s daughter brought her a whole Stilton back from a trip to England. This was a nice, ripe Stilton, a small wheel about 1′ in diameter. Very, uh, ripe. So ripe that the center had fallen in. The daughter had it in her backpack, right on top. The customs guy opened the pack, looked in and got a good sniff. “Lady, I don’t know what that is, but please get it outta here!”
She could have been bringing in a few kilos of China White for all he cared.
Mmmmmm, got to love that stinky cheese.

1/2 lb Monterey Jack
1 large can whole mild chiles
1 cup canned tomatoes, halved
Juice from 2 lemons
Slice the chiles lengthwise into strips. Stuff squid with cheese and chile, close with a toothpick. Lay them in a baking dish, salt & pepper them, chunk in the tomatoes and lemon juice. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.

However, if you can find it, my favorite mollusk is “bay scallops”. Good ones aren’t chewy and have a sweet taste like yellow perch. If you like any fish you would like them.

To put it in conservative terms, there is a difference between voting with your wallet and crying to the government to “protect decency and values”.
The actions of an individual in his own interest can not be called censorship even by an FBI edited article.
