Occasionally, I stop by wikileaks to check out what’s new in the leaked documents world. Earlier today, they had a press release and For Official Use Only document from a year ago (since removed). Unfortunately, it turns out that the document has been available to the public online for nearly that long. If I were someone who liked to bet on things, I’d probably put money on that document having been purposefully “rereleased” to wikileaks as an intended waste of time and space (as opposed to, say, an innocent release which was unaware of the prior availability of the document). Maybe that’s simply paranoia on my part. Maybe it’s all coincidental. Then again, information warfare takes many forms. If I were interested in playing information warfare games, one of the strategies I would adopt would be to waste people’s time and energy following up on information which was a.) old b.) incorrect or partially incorrect and/or c.) useless
Somehow, I doubt I’m revealing in this post a great new strategy which will now be adopted and pursued by strategists everywhere. If so, my apologies to wikileaks, since I’m going to have to assume in that case that you are now going to be hit with a barrage of useless, outdated and/or incorrect garbage to sort through.
