Acting as a go-between for (presumably Jeremy Hammond) the Stratfor hacker and Stratfor itself, Brown misled Stratfor in order to throw the scent off Hammond.

The hacker is not named, and it’s not clear if it’s convicted Stratfor intruder Jeremy Hammond, or an earlier hacker who’s known to have penetrated the company first.

This Stratfor report had several other unexpected insights along these lines and was definitely worth the read.

Meetings had been planned in Palestine and Turkey, both of which—claimed Stratfor emails—were killed by the senior Google leadership as too risky.

These are conversations at Stratfor with and about an 'export-a-revolution' group for hire.

His first assignment as a junior member of the Stratfor team was to prowl around the Rio Grande Valley looking for stuff on the drug cartels; he never had been there before.

Whether "serious foreign policy journalists, made fun of Stratfor" doesn't say much.

I'm reading this article and Sratfor says: "It is worth briefly explaining why Stratfor fixates on navigable rivers as opposed to coastlines.

Having been shown a couple of Stratfor reports, I am singularly unimpressed by the supposedly inside information and the quality of the analysis." Stratfor is just another K-street style retirement house and military industrial money milking machine.

But the virus issues, while not Stratfor's or Wikileaks's direct fault, could have been mitigated by Wikileaks pretty easily.

Stratfor cultivates a mystique of secrecy and insider intelligence because in fact they have little to sell that is exceptional.

It doesn't appear to be anything obviously malicious on the part of the creators of the dump, or Stratfor, or even Wikileaks.
