It's all fun and games and then you're dead

From the wikileaks dump on Stratfor, The Stratfor Glossary of Useful, Baffling and Strange Intelligence Terms (pdf). This is almost as fun as The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce.

One of my favorite Stratfor definitions:

empathy-- Thinking about the world the way the other guy thinks about the world. Essential to both operators and analysts. Both have to put themselves into the other guy’s shoes to figure out what he will do next. Definitely not about warm fuzzies.
