-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 By now I am sure you are all aware of the Columbian military's freeing of the FARC hostages. What I find most interesting is that this appears to be a purely social engineering attack. The English language media have not provided that much detail thus far about the social engineering aspects of the operation. If anyone has more information regarding how the rescue was social engineered, please post it to this thread. Just based on what I have seen thus far, this may turn out to be one of the greatest social engineering attacks in military history. Jon Kibler - -- Jon R.
