Fox News: WikiLeaks Publishes Millions of Emails from US Think Tank.

Notorious whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks has published five million emails from a geopolitical analysis company that Reuters likened to a "shadow CIA." The emails, stolen in late December from the US based company, could reveal private information on Stratfor readers and subscribers, the details of sensitive sources, and even throw light on the intelligence-gathering community, Reuters reported. According to a WikiLeaks statement accompanying the posting of the documents, they reveal the inner workings of the intelligence publisher, which works with companies such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and various government agencies. "The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment-laundering techniques and psychological methods," the website reads. It cites a December 6, 2011 email from CEO George Friedman to Stratfor analyst Reva Bhalia, on how to exploit an Israeli intelligence informant providing information on the medical condition of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. "You have to take control of him. Control means financial, sexual or psychological control. This is intended to start our conversation on your next phase," the email reportedly reads. The company released a statement early Monday morning on its Facebook page, describing the release of emails as "deplorable." "This is a deplorable, unfortunate, and illegal breach of privacy." the company said. Some of the emails may be forged or altered to include inaccuracies, some may be authentic. We will not validate either, nor will we explain the thinking that went into them. Having had our property stolen, we will not be victimized twice by submitting to questioning about them."
