Yup. And, like crockwork, the "usual suspects" are in-thread, playing their FUD games, preventing that not only has NONE of it been documented, but, insisting that it is categorically impossible.
If pressed, they will of course roll out a series of links that are off-topic, and prove nothing, and don't even support their lies -- but, they will keep promulgating their lies anyway -- like crockwork -- and, many will listen to the lies, and accept them, because a comforting lie will be more "listenable" to some folks than an uncomfortable truth.
And, if pressed really hard, they will call in their reinforcements, try to initiate a series of flamewars -- if necessary, settling for a series of single-sided "flame wars", so that the can also stir the shiite w/the mod squad, so that they can score a goal.
"Scoring a goal" in one of these threads means either getting it kicked to "the backroom", where no one will see the uncomfortable facts, or, getting the thread deleted in its entirety.
If they're really lucky, they'll get some longtime posters suspended too.
It really is amazing to watch 'em in action. It's almost as if a squad of seminar posters was in the hire of some outfit that had a vested interest in "steering opinion" or "forming consensus."
That there are such operations conducted on the Internet, and, that this forum, being about as high-profile as they come, would seem to be as likely a target (for such operations) as any, means nothing. I'm sure it's all just a big coincidence. A serial coincidence, that occurs like crockwork.
...NONE of it been documented, but, insisting that it is categorically impossible...
Come on now, it's not like there are Islamic countries with advanced nuclear programs whose scientists would help out the AQ's, and it's not like there are muslims sitting on vast mountains of cash to finance terror.
And it's not like these Jihadis love torturing their victims endlessly before they kill them, like a cat with a bay bird.
They don't have endlessly long memories and dreams of exruciating vengeance for the slightes insults from a hundred years ago.
