"Even the sloppiness of the reporting is offensive. The Times' reporter uses the adjectives "covert" and "clandestine" interchangeably. Yet they have profoundly different meanings.
A covert operation must be kept secret until the mission is accomplished. A clandestine program is meant to remain secret until doomsday (usually to protect sources and methods)."
Just another act of deadly treason
