WTF?:
CIA Launches Wikileaks Task Force
The CIA has launched a task force to assess the damage from release of thousands of US diplomatic cables by Wikileaks.
But the WikiLeaks Task Force is unofficially known inside the CIA as WTF -- a common internet acronym that some may find offensive.
From The Washington Times:
"The director asked the task force to examine whether the latest release of WikiLeaks documents might affect the agency's foreign relationships or operations," CIA spokesman George Little said. The panel is being led by the CIA's Counterintelligence Center but has more than two dozen members from departments across the agency.
To some agency veterans, WikiLeaks has vindicated the CIA's long-standing aversion to sharing secrets with other government agencies, a posture that came under sharp criticism after it was identified as a factor that contributed to the nation's failure to prevent the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
