Perhaps I’ve been watching too much Burn Notice and reading too many books about PR black ops but consider this… in those 90,000 documents that have been released, what if there’s deliberately false information planted to set up something – something post-Afghanistan?

After all, look at what The Guardian observed:

The collective picture that emerges is a very disturbing one. We today learn of hundreds of border clashes between Afghan and Pakistani troops, two armies which are supposed to be allies;

In these documents, Iran’s and Pakistan’s intelligence agencies run riot. Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is linked to some of the war’s most notorious commanders. The ISI is alleged to have sent 1,000 motorbikes to the warlord Jalaluddin Haqqani for suicide attacks in Khost and Logar provinces, and to have been implicated in a sensational range of plots, from attempting to assassinate President Hamid Karzai to poisoning the beer supply of western troops. These reports are unverifiable and could be part of a barrage of false information provided by Afghan intelligence. But yesterday’s White House response to the claims that elements of the Pakistan army had been so specifically linked to the militants made it plain that the status quo is unacceptable. It said that safe havens for militants within Pakistan continued to pose “an intolerable threat” to US forces.

Now that certainly starts to plant ill sentiment towards Pakistan and Iran forces.

Was it the plan? After all, where better to start to plant something for what the Global Military Machine wants to do next than in a series of true documents? That would be a PR masterstroke.
