http://www.odci.gov/cia/ciakids/aerial/index.html "Hi, kids! My name is Harry Recon, and this is my twin sister, Aerial. She's going to tell you about the History of the CIA in another section of the kid's page. We know some great books, too! Read all about it! My parents named me after President Harry Truman, who created the Central Intelligence Agency when he signed the National Security Act on Sept. 18, 1947. My family has always supported the Agency and its predecessor, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), roosting wherever it was camped and keeping an eye out in defense of our country, too. In 1961, when the Agency moved from downtown Washington, DC, to Langley, Virginia, we naturally followed. My dad says that we Recons have been in the intelligence operations business throughout US history: With Paul Revere on his midnight ride. With Virginia Hall as she arrived in France during World War II. Winging along side the U-2 as it took off to gather overhead pictures. Let Aerial tell you more about where we live and work and about our family history." http://www.nytimes.com/library/national/042398cia-kids.html "This is not an effort to recruit," a spokesman for the spy agency emphasizes. "This is an effort to inform in a fun way." I wonder what genius came up with this idea.

One can only hope that some bored cynic can perhaps generate a parody page which expresses the truth. And seed the META-CONTENT with enough k-12 keywords to snag the eyeballs. "Hi, I'm Dorothy Lemming, and I work for the intelligence community. We listen to your calls to your granny in the old country, we scan your email, we get our Canadian buddies to listen to you and teach them how to share. We like to know what you're saying. Its our way of getting in touch with your feelings." "Hi, my name is Louie, and I like to listen too. We're trying to point out all the scary monsters to your parents so they will let us do whatever we want. So that we can protect you. What's a little privacy for safety?" "Hi, my name is Aldrich Ames, and my job is to make sure all our spies work for us..." ------------------------------------------------------------ David Honig Orbit Technology honig@otc.net Intaanetto Jigyoubu "I actually thought Silicon Valley was where women went to get fixed." ---LA Mayor Richard Riordan 98.02.19
