Oct. 25, 2005 - According to a top-secret plan being developed by the Bush administration, high-ranking White House staffers intend to infiltrate Al Qaeda in the hopes of leaking Osama bin Laden's precise location to the press.
The plan, code-named Operation Blabbermouth, was hatched over the weekend after a marathon discussion concerning the ongoing CIA leak scandal, a source inside the White House said today.
"We decided that instead of wringing our hands about leaking the name of that CIA operative, why not put our ability to leak information to positive use?" the source said. "After all, leaking is the one thing we're really good at."
The source said that White House staffers are currently undergoing training in the hopes of infiltrating Al Qaeda by year's end: "We intend to infiltrate Al Qaeda as completely as Halliburton has infiltrated the White House."
Once close to bin Laden, the source said, the White House staffers will immediately place phone calls to reporters to leak the madman's precise location. "We're all going to have Judy Miller on speed dial," the source added.
Counterterrorism expert Richard Clarke, while praising Operation Blabbermouth for its inventiveness, said that the plan has one major flaw. "In order for a plan like that to work, it would have to be kept totally secret, and they've already leaked it to the press," he said.
In response to Clarke's criticism, the White House source offered this response: "Oops."
Elsewhere, in the World Series, some players that no one has heard of defeated some other players that no one has heard of.
