From the article: "He set up a Blogger account under the name Robin Sage, named after the U.S. Army Special Forces training exercise. Robin Sage is the final phase of special forces training before becoming a Green Beret -- but even that apparently didn't tip off some military and intelligence community people who accepted LinkedIn invitations or Facebook friend requests from her." I wonder if that helped. It should've been a red flag to any former special forces, but for others who had only heard about it once or twice in passing, it might've reassured them. "Robin Sage, that name sounds vaguely familiar".
