#2 I find it interesting, and honorable, that the CIA did not pass the buck to the FBI or State Dept on this one. I have seen this happen twice where the correct photos are submitted and someone inserts a "Newer" but unconfirmed photo thinking they are doing the right thing, only to have to retract it and reprint thousands of posters. Tracking these photos are tricky, I suspect the picture they accidentally put there deserves a spot on the list somewhere anyway.

#3 "It's a bit of a black eye, but it's not going to have any long-term impact on the CIA..."

God forbid someone was held responsible for an error or anything like that.
