With the "CIA editing Wikipedia" headline, I think the author is attempting to 
be tongue-in-cheek by stringing together a few well-known paranoid conspiracy 
theories, with the implication that the CIA editing Wikipedia could be 
considered to be by some to be just as paranoid -- except, as the headline 
says, it really happened.
