NORAD INVADED N. KOREAN PRIVACY !!
Washington, July 5,2006 : Unidentified sources in NORAD have advised us their super-secret electronic network monitored the launching and flight trajectories of North Korean missiles yesterday-without seeking the consent of North Koreas Democratically- Elected and- Awfully Nice - Peoples Government.
Outraged privacy advocates in and out of Congress have promised a full-scale investigation . Were going to get to the bottom of this , an angry Congressional hopeful (quoted on the basis of anonymity ) declared.
Meanwhile , one source in NORAD expressed relief the North Koreans had not chosen a launch area sited just 87 kilometers southwest of the actual launch site. Our sensor arrays have an anomalous blind spot in that area ,our source chuckled.
We have checked with our sources in the CIA and Pentagon,but have not been able to confirm the blind spot location yet.
The White House has issued a terse No comment.
You have submitted this to the NYT, right?
Odds are 60-40 that this is satire...
Is that blind spot at 6'66" longitude and 66'6' latitude.
The NYT is at this moment trying to figure an anti-US spin to this story.
The NY Slimes headline will be "Bush Bears Full Responsibility For The Blind Spot"...
