Glad you’re front-paging this Cory. I was all agog earlier reading this, and want to give Boinger mjackmjackmjack props for posting this link in the Snowden sysadmin link earlier. That’s a properly gobsmacking account that helps put today’s NSA and CIA mischief in a right proper perspective.
You hit the highlights, but there was one that you missed that I think was key: In order to get maximum ‘market exposure,’ the Daily Mail changed the purported German invasion route so that it went through towns that had a large Daily Mail circulation!
While the old saw says you can’t make stuff up like this, some really did - and most likely they still are. Occam’s Razor y’all.
