WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The FBI has recovered a valuable copy of the Bill of Rights that had been missing for 138 years, bureau sources said Wednesday.

The document, one of 14 copies of the Bill of Rights commissioned by President George Washington, is worth an estimated $30 million, the FBI said.


The document, one of the few surviving copies of the bill of rights that still has the first, fourth, and fifth amendments intact, will be burned, said a Department of Justice Spokesman.

Reading a Statement form "John Mullah Ashcroft" the spokesman went on to say "Like Picasso's Guernica, or the naked breasts on the statute of Justice, these ideas are simply too inflammatory for the American public to have to deal with. I mean, really -  probable cause? What kind of raggedy-ass terrorist notion is that? Not to mention Amendment IX, which if you read it the way a sissified Frenchman would, implies that people have even more rights than are named in the Constitution. Well, not nay more."

The spokesman clarified the that new bill of rights would consist entirely of the second amendment.
