The Global Intelliegnce Files

Wikileaks latest endeavor:

LONDON—Today, Monday 27 February, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files – more than five million emails from 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 US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defense Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor’s web of informers, pay-off structure, payment-laundering techniques and psychological methods...

I'm not sure there is anything truly shocking here to people already aware of the scumminess of the intelligence community, and much of it may well be disinfo. Still, probably some interesting nuggets here, such as:

CIA and FBI links to the "Ground Zero" mosque. The piece shows some deep level maneuvering of a shady man named Leslie Deaks to various defense contractors and to the Ground Zero Mosque project.

This one sounds like more of a limited hangout: "Stratfor: Osama bin Laden 'was in routine contact with Pakistan's spy agency'"
