I found this on MSNBC. I hope it is properly cited. I thought it was so typical of the government that I had to share it with you. Please let me know if it's not properly cited.
"Army officer Bryan Hilferty, a volunteer Little League umpire in Alexandria, Va., complained to The Washington Post in July that when he requested a copy of the League rulebook (to help him be a better umpire), he was turned down. Hilferty, who has access to classified information in his job at the Pentagon, was told that the Little League restricts its rulebooks, on a "need to know" basis, so as not to invite litigation, and that Hilferty did not qualify. [Washington Post, 7-29-07] "
What would it take to get security clearance at the Pentagon? Whatever it is doesn't clear him for a little league rule book. Too funny. Too American.
