And people thought the onion's reality is applicable only to the stock market and economy. For today's WTF moment we head to the CIA where we find the latest Frankenstein monster, titled, literally, WTF. Meet the WikiLeaks Task Force. Per The Guardian: "The group will be charged with scouring the released documents to survey damage caused by the disclosures." One can just imagine the DOJ's WTF hearings that will likely involve an extradited Assange responding to WTF charges. And with the line between reality and editorial sarcasm blurred beyond recognition, we expect the imminent announcement of a Fed directive titled Preventing Peasant Tensions (acronymed appropriately) whose sole function will be the creation of an imaginary wealth effect for the peasant population, and an all too real escalation in cocaine habit formations among the country's financial "elite."

More on this latest lunacy from the Guardian:

    "Officially, the panel is called the WikiLeaks Task Force. But at CIA headquarters, it's mainly known by its all-too-apt acronym: WTF," the Washington Post reported.

    Earlier this month the Guardian revealed that the CIA was responsible for drafting the data "wishlist" that the US state department wanted on UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, and other senior members of the organisation.

    Although the CIA has featured in some WikiLeaks disclosures, relatively little of its own information has entered the ether, the paper reported. A recently retired former high-ranking CIA official told the Post this was because the agency "has not capitulated to this business of making everything available to outsiders".

    "They don't even make everything available to insiders. And by and large the system has worked."

    While most of the agency's correspondence is understood to be classified at the same "secret" level as the leaked cables that ended up online, it is understood the CIA uses different systems to those of other government agencies.

The only troubling development out of reality itself becoming a farce, is that we are very concerned about the viability of TheOnion.com's business model.
