Observer story likely faked.

] Britain's The Observer newspaper has published a memo
] that purportedly orders increased espionage against U.N.
] Security Council diplomats. The memo is likely a forgery:
] It includes un-American spellings, and the writer
] apparently lacks understanding of the U.S. intelligence
] community's structure.

I found this link first. Stratfor is a reputable source, but apparently there is more information at the Drudge Report (U: which I can't find but Politechbot has some info). The funny thing is that The Observer is continuing to insist that this is real and has changed the spelling "back" on their website. (No word from them about the phoney classification level, etc...)

Observer story likely faked.

There is a redundant post from Decius not displayed in this view.
