Al Qaeda Learns From News Leaks


AJ Strata who points us to the NY Sun’s report that an Al Qaeda terrorist handbook has been found on the internet exploiting the information gained from the leak of the NSA program. Unsurprisingly, as the President pointed out numerous times, the enemy adjusts.

    When an aspiring Al Qaeda terrorist is buying a cell phone, it’s best that he purchase the chip inside the device under a phony name or from a black market vendor that does not sell the accompanying documentation. If he has any reason to believe his phone has been tapped, he should sell it immediately to a stranger.

    This is the kind of advice contained in “Myth of Delusion,” a 151-page manuscript making the rounds on password-protected jihadi Web sites. The book recently caught the attention of American intelligence analysts, who estimate that it was released sometime this summer.

    …

    While he makes no mention of the December 2005 New YorkTimes article that first disclosed that the National Security Agency was tapping phone numbers found in cell phones captured from suspected Al Qaeda operatives in Afghanistan, he does devote a chapter to electronic surveillance.

    In it, Mr. Hakaymah writes that any electronic communication between operatives can be monitored using key words such as “Mullah Omar,” the name of the Taliban leader, or even voice printing.

    Two pages are devoted to the Echelon surveillance system, which Britain and America developed in the 1990s. Mr. Hakaymah warns future terrorists not to repeat the mistake of the Kurdish terrorist leader Abdullah Öcalan, who was captured in Nairobi, Kenya, after making a cell phone call to northern Iraq.

    “The surveillance may be for a certain number or for detecting a certain voice fingerprint for a wanted person,” Mr. Hakaymah writes. “When a person’s number is detected, the recorded calls can be retrieved whether it was incoming or outgoing on that number.”

There wasn’t any personal thanks attributed to the NY Times or ACLU, but we all know who leaked this information allowing our enemy the knowledge to adjust to our tactics. Many of us are still wondering why they haven’t been held accountable for these attrocious actions. Now we hear word straight from the enemy’s mouth that the disclosure of this classified information was most helpful. When the next attempt to attack us is not prevented because programs designed to do so were exposed, don’t forget those who provided the information that allowed the enemy to adjust.

Does this really surprise us.That is the reason that such classified information as the NSA program is labeled as "The Need To Know".   ::) ::)
