There were stories about that system in Soldier of Fortune magazine years ago.
In about 1996 I was working for the state in Meadville, PA. About six of us took some people from Harrisburg to lunch at a Chinese resturant. One of the people there was an intern girl from Sri Lanka. Her parents owned a plantation there and they were very wealthy. The girl was tall, slender and one of the most beautiful women I have ever set eyes on.
She was talking about her home country and no one even knew where it was but me. I also knew about the insurgents there, the "Tamil" (tigers) from reading about them in SOF magazine. She was very impressed with me.
Who ever said reading SOF was useless? I get a wealth of info from that rag.
Very cool :) I sure wish I had met that girl lol.
