Review (in 1996):

"Despite the end of the Cold War, billions of dollars are spent in secret each year, without any accountability to the taxpayers". So says site author Paul McGinnis, who offers amazing links like "How Code Names Are Assigned". (A name "must be chosen with sufficient care to ensure that it does not express a degree of bellicosity inconsistent with traditional American ideals ...")

Visitors can download a virtual model of the Voyager (the so-called "mystery supersonic aircraft"), and amateur spies will appreciate the listing of radio frequencies for various military contractors. There's a few guides on how to assert your rights under the Freedom of Information Act to get documents from the U.S. government (and tips on traversing that incredibly twisty maze).

This page is fun, fascinating, and a testament to free speech in America.
