WikiLeaks Begins Releasing Stratfor Internal Emails

owenferguson writes "WikiLeaks has begun leaking a cache of over 5 million internal emails from the the Texas-headquartered 'global intelligence' company Stratfor. The emails date from between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Marines and the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency. The associated news release can be found on pastebin."

    Five. Maybe a bit more if they've got an extra arm or two. Depends on how well they can use the added appendages, I suppose.

    Either way it's a newspaper clipping service with less than twenty employees and delusions of granduer.
