Thanks Bert. I think much is probably factual..but have to allow for disinformation. You certainly would not want to tip the strike in advance.

I feel blabby today..forgive the reference to the big war..My favorite disinformation story from WWII was an improved bomb sight that came into use by British bombers about 1941..suddenly the bombing was much more accurate than it had been..but they didn't want the Germans to steal the new bombsight.

The British planted stories in their news services about huge fields of carrots being grown in England, and how the bombadiers were eating large servings of carrots, and reported their eyesight had greatly improved.

You can imagine the British mirth as the Germans began to talk in their media of a "carrot gap" for their forces, and hustle to plant fields of carrots.
