Sadly, I think there is no need at all for the security services to pay people to hang around on bulletin boards arguing about video stills.KeyboardJockey said:<snip> Far more effective for the security service to get people arguing about the minuatae of video stills than where blame really should lie for getting us in to this mess in the first place.<snip>
Human nature does all (or almost all) that's necessary, with maybe a drop of disinformation here or there to keep it going.
Whenever these kind of discussions come up I am strongly reminded of the early days of the US stealth bomber programme. The aircraft was developed in secret and test flown near Roswell New Mexico, from the base on which the legendary Area 51 was sited and at around the same time as all the alien autopsy stories started circulating in the press.
Guess what happened to all the eye-witness stories of funny-looking aircraft that didn't show up on radar?
