    Q: If Sabu, under FBI direction, got Anon to hack Syria and release to WL as SyriaFiles, is that weaponizing info?

        and info has long been weaponized. CIA had 7 implants in media orgs in the 1970s.

        Yeah. It's just that Brennan is claiming there's a difference w/mass leaking and "journalism."

        I don't know what you're talking abt. Assange--they guy who decided timing of DNC release--has been on TV 4X this week.

        just because you are on TV does not mean you are granted legitimacy. Journalists love infamy too.

        was it Hammond who gave the files? There was another group too at work who got Syria files before.

        Dunno. I think you wrote the book on this. ;p But you see my larger Q abt weaponizing info?

        I did not cover the Syria files but there was another group that had relations with Anonymous working hard in that area

        Meaning the Sabu-directed hack of Syria may not be the one that led to the release of Syria files?

        I need to try to find this out. Have always wondered whether it was the other group or Hammond. Will try to soon.

        I'd argue yes, but as a litigator I'm generally inclined to argue.

        could see Brennan aiming for a false dichotomy b/w use of private hackers & cyber-* groups within DoD/IC.

        Of course. Meanwhile, Clapper is "ho hum," which is far more honest and why I'll miss him just a tidge when he retires.

        Agreed. Hardly credible for anyone from IC could be surprised at election meddling. It's a smidge disingenuous after Iran, 1953.

        the language is interesting. 'Weaponization of info' seems to be almost exclusively reserved for Russia in the media

        you could have plans to build nuclear bombs, the information is still not weaponized even if it describes weapons.
