Islamic State defector brings 'goldmine' of details on 22,000 supporters

[ChairmanAgnostic]

4. a few problems with this.

1. The biggest problem, WHY MAKE THIS PUBLIC? I am sure that out of those 22,000, at least a few are computer literate, english speaking, and follow the news religiously. Now they have a head's up that they will be dead center within a pretty rigorous search and interrogate process. Sky News should have at least waited until the authorities weighed in.

2. How can we tell that it is accurate? Disinformation is as powerful and information. Giving us 22,000, of which all the real members are dead or in Iraq, while the vast majority were simply picked out of a phone book, or gathered from ISIS members who have axes to grind against family/friends/former bosses/ex-girlfriends or boyfriends/ and much more. This could be an effort to daze and confused us, to distract us while other events are underway.
