    Goss added: “There was probably some really, really important information in these documents.”

    When asked by a reporter if the black ink was meant to intentionally obscure, Goss countered, “Good God, why?”

    Goss lamented the fact that the public will probably never know the particulars of such historic events as the Cold War, the civil-rights movement, or the growth of the international drug trade.

    “I’m sure the CIA played major roles in all these things,” Goss said. “But now we’ll never know for sure.”

    Lmfao, the onion is so good at what it does.

      Yeah I saw that posted earlier. Still can’t believe Google hasn’t turned that off yet.

          Quite sad they didn’t have this mindset for Stadia. That was a good business idea and I can see it working in the future

    God damn, I ate the onion today. In my defence, I thought they had used black highlighters instead of black alcohol ink pens or something like that, like a procurement issue, before I clicked the link and realized I’ve been bamboozled.

    LOL yeah they meant to HIGHLIGHT all the interesting stuff, not black it out 😂

    I just wanted to state the obvious, explain the satire, because it’s funny
