Comment One department. . . (Score 1) 228
One department in the ultra-semi-secret world of semi-clandestine operations and general screwing around would have been in charge of building the thing to accomplish whatever task it was designed for, though due to rampant compartmentalization, they probably didn't know where it was being aimed.
Another department was probably in charge of making sure the world found out about it and that the project got plenty of attention so as to continue the psy-ops war against Iran. ("I'm not yet convinced that Iran really is the boogey man we need to spend a trillion dollars going to war against on flimsy evidence made up by a couple of psychopathic war-mongers in England and the U.S.. I need more news stories where Iran is the bad guy.")
And few of the project workers would have been clued into what the other project workers were clued into. Compartmentalization keeps stuff mostly secret but then drops the ball on organization.
Go Team!
