Ok, so, failing to come to a common conclusion, the bilateral commission investigating Nicola Calipari's death published two separate set of results. This is already a fairly messy situation, including mysterious satellite footage appearing and disappearing again, squabbling intelligence operatives, and a potential diplomatic crisis in the offing.

But now comes the fun part.

The American part of the commission published their results as a .pdf documents, which they put on line, but, of course, they proceeded to blank out the parts that had to be kept confidential, like the names of the soldiers manning the checkpoints and other sensitive pieces of scr... information.

How did they blank them out? They used the highlighting feature of Acrobat Professional edition.

And then forgot to protect it.

Ergo, everybody who selected and copied the text to a text editor could read the whole, uncensored document.

This, I don't know, I feel it highlights wonderfully the amazing level of competence of the way things are handled around this incident.

I haven't yet seen this news pop up in the English language press, but I bet it will.
