Playing with the spin at IRS

This from www.BlacklistedNews.com, a site I (needless to say) recommend very highly:

The Internal Revenue Service on Wednesday said it would rebrand its big business unit, adding the word "international" to reflect a renewed focus on companies that stash money abroad to avoid taxes.

Other headlines from the site today show somebody's tax dollars at work:

The Department of Defense spends tens of billions of dollars annually creating software that is rarely reused and difficult to adapt to new threats. Instead, much of this software is allowed to become the property of defense companies, resulting in DoD repeatedly funding the same solutions or, worse, repaying to use previously created software.

Now it turns out that some police agencies are storing the controversial images after all. The U.S. Marshals Service admitted this week that it had surreptitiously saved tens of thousands of images recorded with a millimeter wave system at the security checkpoint of a single Florida courthouse.
