Someone may be doing that already if you think about it.

If that is done, a freepmail should be sent to regular posters to show a **code** placed in the text so we know what is being posted is not true.

That sounds good -- but also if you think about it, how do we know who the AQ are? Just as we could have intel agents reading and posting, so could AQ types, and we wouldn't know. Remember, some of them are quite educated, and some, like John Lindh, could be native Americans, so we couldn't tell anything from watching for grammatical errors.

I think that's what makes it interesting. As you say, disinformation may already be posted. The fun is trying to separate unconfirmed rumors from AQ disinformation, from our disinformation, to actual information. I think AQ is planning attacks, but is also spending considerable effort of trying to frighten us, by spreading disinformation.

When this thread was started in early November, many laughed at the Debka article and other info, which pointed to AQ preparing for a major attack over the holidays. Two months later it was confirmed by HS raising the warning color to orange and more info in the main media.
