Les commentaires sont intéressants (avec moult hyptohèses paranoiaques) :
“Wouldn’t it be smarter for the air force to not identify how they identified the target? If they didn’t reveal this information chances would be higher that ISIS would slip up and post another helpful photo in the future; now you can bet that they will be taking care to make sure that this particular mistake does not happen again.”
“I think Bruce may have been implying that the Air Force made the story up. The utility to them is that believing the US can locate training camps through selfies might scare Islamic State into restricting informal social media communications, which is presumably a major propaganda source for them.”
More than likely the purpose of this ridiculous anecdote is to con gullible Americans into believing that all NSA surveillance (including surveillance of social media) is vital to stopping terrorists.
