Successes And Failures Of US Intelligence Technology

from the spy-kitty! dept

Oh my. The CIA had a number of documents about their activities in creating intelligence technologies declassified lately. They reveal some interesting succeses and some bizarre failures. The best, though, was the plan for the "accoustic kitty", which was a cat that was wired up to act as a remote listening post. The first cat they attempted to test this on went out and got run over by a taxi. Oops.
