Did you hear the one about the guy who pretended to be a Taliban commander, completely fooling the terminally dumb MI6, who went to lunch with the Afghan President, was given a huge bag full of money for attending, and then legged it?

Turns out he was an Afghan shopkeeper all along...

Story here, and again, here.

I think we should maybe think about a thread nominating the 'funniest political news story of the week' each week. My guess is that this story will win hands down for this past week...

In this case, they screwed up in a monumental fashion, losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process and achieving nothing. Makes me wonder if we can trust anything these clowns tell us.
