Reality finally catches up The authors of www.iraqwar.ru, a pseudoanonynmous site claiming to be russian military intelligence summaries today admitted that they have making their information up. The authors of www.iraqwar.ru, a pseudoanonynmous site claiming to be russian military intelligence summaries today admitted that they have making their information up. During the course of the conflict a number of supposeduly reputable and competant journalists used this site as a basis for stories. In Ireland the Sunday Business Post used the site as a basis for half page stories in each of the last two editions. This was in spite of the fact that the site is remarkably one sided and contains statements which are provably false as well as a huge amount of disinformation. The very premise of the site is suspect - apparently the GRU, russian military intelligence, don't know that their evaluations of the situation are being published on the internet on a dailiy basis along with english language translations. If they do know and this site is 'approved' by them why would a reputable journalist take it seriously? In addition no information whatsoever is provided about the performance of the Iraqi forces, even though their equipoment and training is overwhelmingly russian/warsaw pact/soviet/whatever. The really astonishing thing is that they have been besieged by users of the site to continue provoiding 'information', even though they have admitted that they have no real knowledge of what is going on. |
