- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoIt may be coincidence, but it would be naive to think that there is no sophistication or planning in the public relations of a large organization.
- rdl 13y agoI'm not alleging conspiracy, just stupidity in handling bad PR on MIT's part -- if they'd dropped it in 4h, ~no one would read it (PFC Manning is 1000x bigger deal than aaronsw, not the least of which because PFC Manning is alive).
- chaostheory 13y agoIt's relatively easy to delay the release of MIT's findings, even when they became aware late in the cycle. Let's also remember that MIT has filed an objection to the Freedom of Information Act requests. There's just too many coincidences to belittle it as "conspiracy theory".
