I could say the same thing about hiding budget elements in plain sight.

Yes Mr. FOIA requestee, the Congress did indeed authorize funds for our project. Where? You know, I don't think I can find that line item.

Our agents should be knocking on your door to ask how you knew to ask the question in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ....

Welcome to the "Broken China" pinglist.
If you want on or off the ping list send me a FReepMail.

For those who want to see the personal side of what is going on with the flooding in northern China, see this YouTube video.

China's grain has been devastated by the flood/Millions of People's Rice Bowls are in danger

The next few years are going to be brutal, exciting, and excitingly brutal.

My first Leading Chief simply told new arrivals that the best way to maintain security on the station was to never mention anything about the place when you were outside of it.

I think I packed up my camera and shipped it home the day after I heard that lecture.

You obviously suffered from a shortage of chicom spies working in your budget/procurement departments. Seems to be fashionable to hire the first Chinese citizen, give he/she/it a security clearance and a copy machine, and a key to the nearest chicom embassy? Maybe even a Minox and a case of film?

I do remember that it took Ivan and Mao a long time to sort of copy stuff that I might have worked on.
