Never heard of Babbage Town. I think it's called that because of Charlie Babbage who was an early code breaker.

Not until they mentioned Charles Babbage and his mathematical history.

Never connected this with Charles Babbage until it was mentioned. There certainly seem to be some mysterious and murky things happening there! Watch this space.

I had heard of it. Like any government "think tank" it has questionable practices I'm sure.

>6 sushicat: Camp Peary does.
"Camp Peary is an approximately 9,000 acre military reservation in York County near Williamsburg, Virginia. Officially referred to as an Armed Forces Experimental Training Activity (AFETA) under the auspices of the Department of Defense, Camp Peary hosts a covert CIA training facility known as "The Farm," which is used to train officers of CIA's Directorate of Operations, as well as those of the DIA's Defense Clandestine Service,1 among other intelligence entities. Camp Peary has a sister facility, "The Point," located in Hertford, North Carolina."
