But this video, as I said, was not made for Russians to watch -- it was made for the viewing of President Reagan and other Americans who didn't know the Russian alphabet.

I solemnly promise you that the CIA is not nearly clever enough to have deliberately put a mistake in a video just for the purpose of outraging Russians more than 20-30 years later. When the CIA manages to find its own ass, that means they're doing an average job. Every once in a while they do a truly outstanding, spectacular job that actually produces correct information and saves lives on both sides, but that's very rare. On average days, it's "successfully located own ass -- mission accomplished!"

PS. Of course, that's just what I would say if I were secretly working for The Company.

PPS. Now I must kill you all.
