Elegant Infiltration


Wikileaks is one hell of an entity, we all know and appreciate it. The latest release of documents are without doubt one of the most antiwar, anti establishment and pro humanitarian act an entity as such could possibly have done. There is a “but“ here and by looking at the index of theses documents and the summery of its statistical highlights, it causes an inevitable feeling of seeing an elegant flow of disinformation….. We all know and have seen enough evidence to know the atrocities and injustices that have occurred in the past decade, irretrievably that of one of USA’s sixteen secret service establishments or carried out by private security militia organizations a la “Xe” better known as “BlackWater”, not to mention the audacity with which the professional US military interpreted/twisted international law beyond recognition, by legalizing torture through their highest elected/appointed officials…etc.etc.etc.

Now, if we were an officer of one of the countless (sixteen) intelligence services in the US, and confronted with a phenomenon like the “Wikileaks” and after having unsuccessfully tried to discredit the owner of this organization (by claiming sexual abuse/rape or other perversions.... something that usually works in the US) then we would probably decide to at least control the flow of information or documents to him or it, since we can not stop the publishing in this time of global internet connections. It is only natural that by controlling the flow, we would actually change and manipulate the content to ones advantage or to another's disadvantage. We truly would be amateurs or incompetent civil or military servants if we could not deal with such a leak a second or third time around.

One sees in this latest leaks, names and numbers…. Numbers that can “NOT” possibly be true or verified. Until now all statistical researches regarding Iraqi casualties were around 1,000,000 .. plus minus 10,000, but now they edited it down to 10% that number into 109,000, and to cut and torpedo our doubts, they immediately claim and take blame for over 65% innocent civilian share of that number. The next issue is shifting the blame for tortures in Iraq by putting it mainly and solely upon the Iraqi security services like the police, with themselves having only looked away and tolerated the whole show. Not to mention the names issued……
Prior to this leak, we had an Afghanistan leak and there we saw some obscure names of the Afghan versions of Jim,Jack and Bob…. Needless to say, non were ever actually identified officially, but always possible that a few dozen Jims or Jacks and Bobs were picked up and never seen again. The 300 or so names issued here on Iraq are no different, they are so common that every one yet no one could ever be implicated, or worse the names could be authentic but actually leaked to endanger those who would not collaborate….Finally no report would be final if there is no mention of Iran's naughtiness in the region, so the obligatory rhetoric of “Iran sending weapons to this and that”….

I guess mixing truth and lies makes doubting/believing the whole thing more difficult, but be very careful in believing/rejecting everything you read, no matter who publishes it.
