– An official multi-agency report released today states there
“was no direct link” between Undead activity in Africa and
piracy off the coast of Somalia and other troubled regions. In an unusual
move, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, FBI Director Robert Mueller,
and CIA Deputy Director Stephen Kappes held a joint press conference
in the wake of growing public concern about piracy and recently confirmed
Undead reports in areas of Africa including Somalia. The report is the
result of a year-long study of the correlation, involving dozens of
top scientists, ambassadors, military experts and others. Interest in
the report in the U.S. grew recently in the wake of pirate attacks in
Somalia
.
“Exhaustive field and undercover research has yet to indicate
any links between the recent increase in piracy and zombie-ism in regions
of Africa.” Kappes said as Mueller and Gates nodded in assent.
“There’s no science to indicate it, no eyewitness reports,
only rumors that have so far not come to be proven true.” While
generally calm, Kappes took his seat after fielding only two questions.
When asked why no one from the scientific community studying Undead
in that region was present for the joint press conference, Mueller stood
up and showed Kappes to his seat, answering “People appointed
to speak for the panel who gathered the research and did the legwork
are speaking today.”
“From
what we know, which is the cumulative study of troop movements, uprisings,
examination of bank records, public health records where available,
and other documents, the interviewing of key sources, we have yet to
find a direct link between the rise of piracy and the rise in the number
of incidents involving Undead in Africa,” Mueller added.
The idea of inter-agency cooperation is nothing new in the Age of Obama,
but some in attendance at the public event announcing the release of
the report, a brief and sometimes terse 75-page document, wondered whether
the idea of an interagency press conference indicated a new era of openness
or a new era in us v. them stonewalling.
“This
report is by no means the exhaustive, get-it-all-out-in-the-open research
the American public is now expecting from its leaders, its government,
and the scientific community,” said leading agitator for Undead
defense William Pruitt, the head of the Congressional lobbying arm of
Americans For Undead Truth. “It’s only 70 pages of them
saying “nothing to see here folks.”
