Director of National Intelligence punked by PowerPoint
Reminds me of all the client docs I’ve received with ‘private’ notes and changes showing upon opening.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the highest intelligence agency in the country that oversees all federal intelligence agencies, appears to have inadvertently released the keys to that number in an unclassified PowerPoint presentation now posted on the website of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). By reverse engineering the numbers in an underlying data element embedded in the presentation, it seems that the total budget of the 16 US intelligence agencies in fiscal year 2005 was $60 billion, almost 25% higher than previously believed.

That shit happens all the time in communications between opposing lawyers these days. Someone is going to get disbarred for sending confidential information to opposing counsel in meta sooner or later if it hasn’t already happened.
