The CIA has launched a taskforce to assess the impact of 250,000 leaked US diplomatic cables. Its name? WikiLeaks Task Force, or WTF for short.

The group will scour the released documents to survey damage caused by the disclosures. One of the most embarrassing revelations was that the US state department had drawn up a list of information it would like on key UN figures – it later emerged the CIA had asked for the information.

"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.

Another military-related one I never understood was BRAC for base closures. Sounds like someone threw up.

I imagine being appointed to the Fast Action Response Team would entail receiving a great deal of Special High Intensity Training.

How appropriate! The CIA can join the rest of us in walking around “bent over.” Perhaps they can find Zero’s birth certificate and aid in getting him impeached so we can all stand upright again before we’re doomed forever.
