Hah!
 
Just saw this headline...
 
 
 

US learned of Kim's death from "open" sources

Reuters -
By Mark Hosenball | WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The US government got its first warning North Korean leader Kim Jong-il had died from an intelligence unit that monitors media reporting around the world, two US officials said.

 
 
And I thought - Nope. The US learned it from Free Republic and specifically  TigerLikesRooster. Who FReeped it long before any of the networks knew about it.

Intelligence failure on Kim's death is also a hot topic in S. Korean media, too. That goes to show that Chicom kept the news for themselves, which they reportedly learned a day earlier.

"Too many toys. Not enough boys."

Our intelligence apparatus is a disgrace and in a shambles, both under Bush and Obama, but exceedingly so under Obama.
