File under: Islamic State of Iraq

#1 With ISIS working hard to hide its secrets and push propaganda as fact, leakers may turn out to be an increasingly important source of information about it and other extremist groups.

So they have their own ~~Bradley~~ Chelsea Mannings and Eddie Snowdens? Wotta tragedy!

#2 So the old redhead is alive??? So the intel that Al-Douri had died of cancer was a sham?

So Al-Douri has been camped out in the Mosul/Tikrit area for ten years and our magnificent intelligence apparatus and NSA monitoring could not find him?

Amazing.

Of course, when Al-Douri went dark he had $300 million of Saddam's oil for food money and I am sure he didn't spend it all on the insurgency. $300 million will buy you a lot of anonymity.

Wow talk about an intelligence bust...Al-Douri is alive and well in Nineveh? And we bought the cancer story? That is possibly the most embarrassing intelligence failure of the last ten years in Iraq.

#4 Now that rumor of ISIL/ISIS selling oil to the Assad Regime (Baathist) has context.

#5 Speaking of Twitter, I just noticed this from Slemani Times.

UPDATE: One #Kurdish sniper shoots 18 in Jalawla as #ISIS forces empty magazines into the faces of their #dead; masking their identities.

If they weren't dead before then they are now.
