Subject: [iwar] Historical posting
When I joined this news group I thought it was to discuss, and be informed
on the latest news and events on the subject of Information Warfare. This
is not the place to discuss religious persecution, and our First Amendment
Rights.
Unless...this discussion thread was intended to be a case study on the use
of misinformation, to spread propaganda, for the purpose of enraging the
masses. If that was the case, "BRAVO" , but let's end it here.
