An American hacker’s program called “Wikiscanner” that traces the source of Wikipedia edits has fingered the CIA and the Vatican. The CIA was its usual evasive mode when it came to answering questions saying only “While I cannot confirm whether any changes were made from CIA computers, the agency always expects its computer systems to be used responsibly” and the Vatican closed all its doors and windows and pretended like no one was home.

Other changes that have been made are more innocuous, and include tweaks to the profile of former CIA chief Porter Goss and celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey. The site also indicates that a computer owned by the US Democratic Party was used to make changes to the site of right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh. The changes brand Mr Limbaugh as "idiotic," a "racist", and a "bigot". An entry about his audience now reads: "Most of them are legally retarded." (news.bbc)
