Am I the only one that doesn't see the "humor" in someone in Central Command passing information to the Russians? Time for the firing squads. It shouldn't be too difficult to find out who did this.
But but but...in DESERT STORM the Russians became our allies. Intelligence sharing was rife. Apparently still is.

This is covered in Tommy Franks book, American Soldier.
As they where developing the war plan, then refered to as OPLAN (Operations Plan) 1003, they would deliberatly old and out dated versions of the plan to sources, they refered to an agent called "april fool", who would pass the disinformation to Saddams command and control.
There was a very active disinformation wing at Centcom that passed old and out of date plans to provide the enemy with a false narative to the information before them.
