Antiquated?

Archaic?

Seriously?

Not sure about you, but this just seems a bit "convenient" to me.

That's the beauty of getting in the habit of automatically lying to everyone about everything you do. After a while it just comes naturally.

They've become a bunch of double-plus ungood duckspeakers, to use Orwell's terminology. :-\

I kind of wonder if they've got things engineered and compartmentalized so well that the people doing the "lying" actually believe the lies because they're only privy to enough information to make them actually believe that. i.e. Do we have genuine liars or do we have a system of deceit?

Yup.

Vurbal:
Chances are this was nothing but the typical deny first and don't bother checking later policy that government agencies (especially intelligence services) have WRT to FOIA requests. The CIA has it down to a science. Last year somebody filed a lawsuit after they responded to a FOIA request for nothing more than their FOIA policy and they responded saying their were no documents matching the request.

Now keep in mind every agency publishes their FOIA policy publicly so the only way someone whose job was processing information requests wouldn't find it is if they didn't look. In fact that was the point of the request - irrefutable evidence the CIA is actively ignoring the law like everybody knows they are. The NSA certainly does the same thing.

Not sure if this has been posted before (and don't care to spend an hour to find out), but it's funny:
