The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date 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 Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Good piece -- should be required reading for Gibbs, Biden and Hillary before they start speaking off the cuff.

I'll make one personal observation: having worked in Cairo on joint-ops with both the internal and external Services, I can say the MB remains a significant threat in their eyes. Yes, the Brotherhood is "untested" when it comes to holding any kind of real political power; however, just like every Frenchmen was a "resistance fighter" in WWII, most Egyptians are loath to voice support for the Brotherhood publicly. The reason for this is simple: every time there's an assassination or a plot uncovered, the police and intel services round-up a couple thousand people and throw them in prison -- many for having done nothing more than voicing support for the MB or haven been seen in their company. Egyptians have learned to keep their cards close to their vests when it comes to opinions about the Brotherhood.
