The propagation of intelligence is the issue here, and it does happen, though we would like to have it properly choreographed. The site is authentic -- but authentic what?

The names, emails, addresses, & phone numbers were x’ed by me (call me paranoid, since the information is freely available over the web).

On an open net, anything is possible, and generally happens. Propagation of misinformation is a common practice for those with secrets, such as might be found with any nation’s secret service group.

Is the information real? Of course, otherwise it would not be believed. Is it false? Of course -- otherwise the bad guys might start believing stuff they aren’t supposed to believe.

There is an intermesh of data when dealing with psy-ops, and the exposed information will almost never reveal what you think it did. A germ of truth however, must be there, otherwise the myth doesn’t work.

Is this a bona fide psy-ops site? Doubtful -- but even that might be part of the myth.

Then again, maybe it's just another newswire company...

Dan
