Pentagon Washes Hands of Dove (washingtonpost.com)

Despite substantial improvements in security, the Pentagon is still vulnerable to enemy attack, officials there found out on Wednesday afternoon. A dove, of all things, somehow flew in and made its way completely unhindered up to the fourth floor E-Ring, perching itself in the Air Force corridor.

This placed the offending harbinger of peace one floor up and directly above the office of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. (Actually it was a beige-y pink mourning dove, or Zenaida macroura, believed to be a juvenile.)

... The punchline is a must-read.
