FYI:
As I wrote yesterday , there is a leaked email that has gotten surprisingly little attention around here. It's the one where Aaron Barr discusses his intention to post at Daily Kos - presumably something negative about Anonymous, the hacking group. But that's not the email I'm talking about here.
As I also mentioned yesterday, in some of the emails, HB Gary people are talking about creating "personas", what we would call sockpuppet s. This is not new. PR firms have been using fake "people" to promote products and other things for a while now, both online and even in bars and coffee houses.
But for a defense contractor with ties to the federal government, Hunton & Williams, DOD, NSA, and the CIA - whose enemies are labor unions, progressiv e organizati ons, journalist s, and progressiv e bloggers, a persona apparently goes far beyond creating a mere sockpuppet .
According to an embedded MS Word document found in one of the HB Gary emails, it involvescreating an army of sockpuppets, with sophistica ted "persona management " software that allows a small team of only a few people to appear to be many, while keeping the personas from accidental ly cross-cont aminating each other. Then, to top it off, the team can actually automate some functions so one persona can appear to be an entire Brooks Brothers riot online.
Using the assigned social media accounts we can automate the posting of content that is relevant to the persona. In this case there are specific social media strategy website RSS feeds we can subscribe to and then repost content on twitter with the appropriate hashtags. In fact using hashtags and gaming some location based check-in services we can make it appear as if a persona was actually at a conference and introduce himself/he rself to key individual s as part of the exercise, as one example. There are a variety of social media tricks we can use to add a level of realness to all fictitious personas

I usually ignore SP stories in the hopes that if we don't give her attention, maybe she'll go away.==========
However, this is actually important, in spite of some on here commenting that it's not news.
Palin is someone who aspires to be a thought leader (I know, try not to barf) and a political leader, for our nation. It is important for people to understand the level at which she functions, her approach to problem-solving, her level of maturity and integrity.
Her faux FaceBook pages reveals much about her.
Dear Dean Praetorius
You missed Chuck Heath as one of her 12 friends.
And another 'friend' to 'Lou Sarah' is Mary Kay Sheeran, which just happens to be Bristol Palin's middle name (Sarah Palin's maternal grandmothe

Report: Unreleased Abu Ghraib Abuse Photos 'Show Rape'
Despite Obama's claims that they 'are not particularly sensationa l,' Maj Gen. Antonio Taguba says photos show 'torture, rape and every indecency. '
At least one picture shows an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner while another is said to show a male translator raping a male detainee.
Further photographs are said to depict sexual assaults on prisoners with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphores cent tube.
Another apparently shows a female prisoner having her clothing forcibly removed to expose her breasts.
Detail of the content emerged from Major General Antonio Taguba, the former army officer who conducted an inquiry into the Abu Ghraib jail in Iraq.
Allegations of rape and abuse were included in his 2004 report but the fact there were photograph s was never revealed. He has now confirmed their existence in an interview with the Daily Telegraph.
The graphic nature of some of the images may explain the U.S. President's attempts to block the release of an estimated 2,000 photograph s from prisons in Iraq and Afghanista n despite an earlier promise to allow them to be published.
