I know it's already been mentioned elsewhere, but I am still immensely amused by the idea that the CIA publishes what is pretty much the ultimate example of the concept.

I'm afraid my threshold for shock when it comes to the floppy shoe brigade at the White House has gotten pretty high -- this barely even registers.

I know, I know--it's only that most of the other stupidities can be represented as some sort of fig leaf to show the public that Something Is Being Done. This is too amazingly dumb even to qualify for that. (Not to mention the implication that absolutely no one in the FBI upper echelon has the common sense to put a foot down and say so.)
