Drôle la C.I.A.? Sécurité national et humour.

Un article qui nous présente des documents qui sont longtemps demeurés secrets. On révèle ainsi un "bestiaire politique"... Ce ne serait qu'amusant si on parvenait à oublier le rôle parfois très controversé de l'agence.

 "It turns out that there are the 15 phrases that CIA editors hate. At the top of the list: “multidisciplinary analysis,” which “has only recently been ‘discovered’ as a species separate from other kinds of analysis.”

“Viable alternatives” is another loathed phrase. In the “Bestiary,” they are defined as “nature’s born troubleshooters.” They are “moody and shy” and apparently resemble iguanas. They also “wander off when times are good because governments and officials tend to ignore them; when times are bad, officials are dismayed to discover they don’t have any.” Little is known of the origin of this species other than it reproduces asexually.

“Broad outlines” are “gluttonous predators” that “probably evolved out of regular outlines sometime in the past, the result of too rich a diet of academic nuts roasted in professional hot air.”
