In our current age of Wikileaks and such, I don't think there is anyone

It never was sterling from the very get-go. However as of more lately it's getting totally out of control. The mutually perpetrated cold-war era that nearly started WW3 was even better off.


It certainly goes back way before Wikileaks. Here's what is said about George Washington:
"He was adept at deception operations and tradecraft and was a skilled propagandist."

That's told to us by none other than the CIA -
