OSS is not the CIA. Pleas correct the headline.

Maybe we should form a committee to decide what those channels are before we do anything too brash?

I got this.

@dang-- can you please change "CIA's" to "Open Source Software's" in the title?

Thanks.

That still doesn't make the headline correct, though. CIA simply didn't exist in WW2.
