The top-secret joke the CIA didn't want you to hear

The top-secret joke the CIA didn't want you to hear

One of the CIA's deepest and darkest secrets -- a classified report about a plot by the "Ebenezer Scrooge" terrorist group to attack Santa Claus and his reindeer -- has finally been revealed after almost 30 years.
...

"This shows that the system is not about protecting real security issues," said Thomas Blanton, director of the U.S.-based National Security Archive, which made the Santa records public. "The bulk of what government keeps secret is to avoid embarrassment."

...

The archive is still being blocked by the U.S. government from obtaining a variety of Cold War records. Mr. Blanton said among the more-dubious secrets still kept under wraps is the budget for intelligence spending in 1947. As well, the locations of U.S. nuclear missiles in Italy, which were removed decades ago, is still considered a matter of national security and off-limits to the public.

Mr. Blanton also noted that the CIA has refused to release its official history of the agency's role in a 1953 coup against Iran's government. The spy organization's involvement in the overthrow of the democratically elected regime is well-known and documented by other government and historical records. But Mr. Blanton's organization believes that in light of the turbulent U.S.-Iranian relationship these days, the CIA has, so far, found it convenient to keep details of the 1953 coup locked up.
