The Bureau reports that PR firm Bell Pottinger made "short TV segments made in the style of Arabic news networks and fake insurgent videos which could be used to track the people who watched them, according to a former employee."
Finding out who is watching terrorist video's and checking them out is a great idea. Good to see some proactive thinking in the pentagon. What would be shocking about it?

In a shocking expose by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, Pentagon was caught paying $540m to a UK-based PR firm to allegedly create fake terrorist videos in Iraq.
The Bureau reports that PR firm Bell Pottinger made "short TV segments made in the style of Arabic news networks and fake insurgent videos which could be used to track the people who watched them, according to a former employee."
The firm's former chairman Lord Tim Bell had confirmed to the Sunday Times, that his firm had worked on a "covert" military operation "covered by various secrecy agreements," according to the Bureau.
He added that Bell Pottinger reported to the Pentagon, the CIA and the National Security Council.
