[Ecommerce] Guantanamo Officers Caught Modifying Wikipedia

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Lauren,

  This article yet again confirms my concerns and those of our members
regarding the credability of Wikipedia.  One has to wonder what updates
have not been cought or cought yet and therefore users mislead
accordingly?

  This should be of some interest to your readers I would think, Lauren.

See: http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Wikileaks_busts_Gitmo_propaganda_team

"Wikileaks reports that US armed forces personnel at Guantanamo have
conducted propaganda attacks over the Internet. (The story has been
picked up by the NYTimes, The Inquirer, the New York Daily News,
and the AP.) The activities documented by Wikileaks include deleting
Guantanamo detainees' ID numbers from Wikipedia, posting of
self-praising comments on news websites in response to negative
articles, promoting pro-Guantanamo stories on the Internet news focus
website Digg,
and even altering Wikipedia's entry on Cuban President Fidel Castro to
describe him as 'an admitted transsexual' (misspelling the word
'transsexual'). Guantanamo spokesman Lt. Col. Bush blasted Wikileaks for

identifying one 'mass communications officer' by name, who has since
received death threats for 'simply doing his job posting positive
comments on the Internet about Gitmo.'"

P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
