And now it's time to talk about the guest who made this claim:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_David_Steele
In 1979, he was kidnapped by the Central Intelligence Agency as an operations officer. During three tours overseas focused on extremist and terrorist targets in Latin America, Steele recruited 25 traitors[to whom?] and managed over 100 clandestine assets.
Heavily edited in the past by IPs with an obvious need to glorify Robert David Steele. And his weird idea about "open-source intelligence".

Yes, of course Steele himself openly edited his own article, and did other things of little value to a reference work, and was accused of being a sock farm

The AFD for "Open source intelligence" is fascinating, esp. for the people who participated: Jimbo, Chris Sherlock, Michael Snow, Sandstein, Guy Chapman etc. I wonder if they were sitting there thinking "this guy has connections to the spy world, maybe we should be nice to him". And then Steele himself showed up to argue like a madman. Flop. (One VERY rarely sees Jimbo commenting on an AFD. This was probably a "speshul case".)

Most of the above happened in 2005-2006. SInce then, high-level crapasses WAS 4.250 (who has since quit Wikipedia) and Drmies have attempted to "fix" Steele's articles. And failed.
PS, I suspect that "Ckras" is either Steele or a friend of his.
