International Forensics

It looks like people are finally asking who forged the Nigerian documents. About freaking time.

The entire stupid mess inspires me to explore the nascent art of geopolitical hacking/intelligence jamming. Start implicating North Korea (or Syria or Iran or whatever bad guy is in the news recently) with not-so-clever forgeries. A seris of self-contradictory documents of all kinds: order forms for various WMDs, plans for infiltrating American society, emails coordinating evil dictator sleep-overs, that kind of thing. All left in random places around Seattle, waiting for gullible intelligence agents to find them. It could be the next internet trend: DossierCrossing.com!

You get right on that--I think I'll avoid this plan, as I'd rather not spend the rest of my life in a cage in Cuba or in a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison without citizenship. ;)

For some reason, I thought by "Nigerian documents" you meant the Nigerian *spam*. Laugh

That sounds like fun.

... Order forms for WMDs? Are there mail-order WMD places already?

Considering what I do, I couldn't help but think of the Nigerian email scam (formerly the Nigerian fax scam, formerly formerly the Nigerian letter scam.)

Dear Mr. Hussein: I am a businessman in Nigeria, and I need a safe place to get this uranium out of the country before the government gets hold of it. Won't you help? All you have to do is deposit this uranium in your weapons plants, and I'll let you keep 15% and send the rest back to me...
