Guantanamo Officers Caught Modifying Wikipedia
James Hardine writes "Wikileaks reports that US armed forces personnel at Guantanamo have conducted propaganda attacks over the Internet. (The story has been picked up by the NYTimes, The Inquirer, the New York Daily News, and the AP.) The activities documented by Wikileaks include deleting Guantanamo detainees' ID numbers from Wikipedia, posting of self-praising comments on news websites in response to negative articles, promoting pro-Guantanamo stories on the Internet news focus website Digg, and even altering Wikipedia's entry on Cuban President Fidel Castro to describe him as 'an admitted transsexual' (misspelling the word 'transsexual'). Guantanamo spokesman Lt. Col. Bush blasted Wikileaks for identifying one 'mass communications officer' by name, who has since received death threats for 'simply doing his job — posting positive comments on the Internet about Gitmo.'"
Why not? Are you under the impression that a language is static, with well defined rules on how a new word comes into use and gets added to the official lingo?
Ur teh oldie.
it's in my head
No, you are making blatantly false statements in an attempt to lead those who don't click through and check links into making incorrect conclusions, or at least muddy the water. First you say he was Romanian, now you say it doesn't matter that he was from Gitmo. What will you say next?
The deal is, the leaker is being thorough. He has given evidence, and has indicated where he has sources but no evidence, and has covered all the bases. You, on the other hand, are here trying to do damage control.
