Looking at some of the recent (unsubstantiated) reports of people who would
abhor porn for religious reasons using porn to communicate (!!), I wonder if
these stories can be traced back to the LA Times nonsense of a few years ago
where unnamed spies were doing the same thing? Given that these rumours stick
around more or less forever once started, and that the stego-porn story seems
to be no more than a rumour, could it just be a mutation of the same story?
(Why couldn't bin Laden just record his messages backwards in heavy metal like
satan does?).
Peter.
