WikiLeaks plans to release e-mails from security think tank


Embattled document-sharing sites says the trove of documents "reveal the inner workings" of Strategic Forecasting, which suffered a hack late last year.

WikiLeaks announced today it would begin publishing more than 5 million confidential e-mails on Monday obtained from an influential security think tank.

The e-mails, which date from July 2004 to December 2011, "reveal the inner workings" of Strategic Forecasting (Strafor), an Austin, Texas-based that provides security analysis to the U.S. Army, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman, the embattled document-sharing site said in a statement.

"The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment-laundering techniques, and psychological methods," the organization said.

The trove also purportedly contains more than 4,000 e-mails mentioning WikiLeaks or its founder, Julian Assange.

1. Bravo to WikilLeaks! Keep turning over the rocks that the PTB hide under.

2. Excellent! A private intelligence firm, relying on informants from the US government?

I'm frigging sick and tired of "private contractors" and "think tanks" that are facilitating the destruction of our rights.
Shine a light and the roaches scurry. The truth will set you free.

3. I was just reading about this on CNN.

If you go to the Wikileaks site they have some good info available on the codewords used by people at Stratfor. Also, there are some relatively juicy excerpts in the main blurb about the files. I can't wait to see what we are able to find in these e-mails.
