THE CIA TOOK its time, but its finally on Twitter.

With only two tweets under its belt so far, America’s central intelligence agency chose a perfect first message, with just the right amount of internet cheek:

We can neither confirm nor deny that this is our first tweet.

Of course the CIA joining the social media world has generated considerable interest and a fair amount of fake tweets, taking on surveillance, classified information and torture.
