This was supposed to leak only on April 1st,

hmmmm wonder whats special on that day

 

[vishalrao]

It's the start of the new fiscal year... when CIA has to report its secret budget spending to the other (covert) US govt. agencies , like the DoD (dept. of defense).

Note they are hand-in-glove with the NSA, which the Onion fails to mention in its report
