US spent millions for making fake Al-Qaida videos : Report

[pakdefender]

Please note this phrase: "we’ve got to use Al-Qaeda’s footage". All the footage was genuine AlQaida, not fake at all. Only the Real Player was encoded in a special way to enable tracing of IP addresses.

what about the following line , who was filming the bombings with low quality cameras and passing on to the PR firm ?

Bombings were filmed with low-quality cameras to make it look like news footage.

Do you think the CIA created a 'new' media player under the same name as Real Player ?
Do you understand the implications of creating a fake/alternate media player under the same name of Real Player , which is a commercial product downloadable from here http://www.real.com/

There are two things

1. The media player that plays the content was Real Player
2. The CIA contracted the PR firm to create the content for the specific media player and not the player itself.

U.S. marines would take the CDs on patrol and drop them in the chaos when they raided targets. Wells said: “If they’re raiding a house and they’re going to make a mess of it looking for stuff anyway, they’d just drop an odd CD there.”


The CDs were set up to use Real Player, a popular media streaming application which connects to the internet to run. Wells explained how the team embedded a code into the CDs which linked to a Google Analytics account, giving a list of IP addresses where the CDs had been played.

The filming was AlQaida's own. The Real Player was the software. The clever part was using both to track AlQaida sympathizers. Nothing else. What problem do you see in any of that?

No the filming was specifically done with low resolution cameras for a specific purpose by US contracted
personnel.

If you think spending 500 million USD to make Real Player CDs , which ultimately depended on an internet connection and Google analytics, is a clever way to track down AQ sympathizers then you are not a very bright bulb.

Perhaps it was people like you who guided the Iraq effort which is such a fine example of how clever people get the job done.

Please provide information showing which of the videos were faked. Whoever was doing the actual filming was AlQaeda.

Besides, how USA chooses to spend its resources it up to USA to decide, not others.

I dont know which videos , I'm going by the wording in the news report .. it was a 500 million USD program , I'm sure they were not just burning CDs with some embedded code to track IPs

Happy spending , keeping racking up that debt I suppose

The scary part is that you'll end up not just screwing yourself but everyone else along with you.

So you have nothing to show except your prejudice. It's okay.
