In the slightly, okay, make that extrememly Orwellian and Paranoid world of the 1600 Crew it's fair to say that classification reigns supreme. In the heavily-redacted, but incorrectly saved .pdf file of the report on the mistaken killing of the Italian Secret Service officer, amidst all the alphabet soup of military jargon, this little germ was marked "S//NF", which if I remember my militarese means "Secret, No (dissemination to) Foreign Nationals. Since we here at Democratic Veteran once held a pretty high-level clearance and got to see much of the boring, and over-classified shit that passes for "secret" and above stuff (it's pretty mundane folks), we're sensitive to not letting out any state secrets. But since the unredacted version of this was taken from the website of an Italian newspaper, it's fairly safe to assume that the "cat is out of the bag". Ooops.

If I were the guy who was responsible for classifying this, I would do it in a way that I would not look like an idiot if it were ever made, ahem, public. Here goes:

² (S//NF) ² VOIP is a technology that allows telephone calls to be made using a broadband internet connection instead of a regular (analog) phone line.

Un Be Lievable. Voice over IP is classified by our government as Secret Technology. I guess all those broadband phone companies better be careful, they're obviously not getting with the "loose lips" etc... program.
