If you didn’t already know that the Taliban had a mailing list, your mind is already blown. But here’s a solid one-upper: the taliban spokesperson accidentally CC’d everyone on that list in an otherwise pedestrian email, outing some people who likely didn’t want the world to know they were subscribers.
According to ABC News, the list was mostly comprised of journalists, but had some other interesting figures on it.
The list, made up of more than 400 recipients, consists mostly of journalists, but also includes an address appearing to belong to a provincial governor, an Afghan legislator, several academics and activists, an Afghan consultative committee, and a representative of Gulbuddein Hekmatar, an Afghan warlord whose outlawed group Hezb-i-Islami is believed to be behind several attacks against coalition troops.
The list is mostly used for the Taliban to claim responsibility for attacks, and activity on the account has risen sharply in recent weeks. It’s probably safe to say they lost some subscribers after this. [ABC News]
Wow that’s embarrassing for them. The only thing more embarrassing would be if Jimmy Savile’s name was on the list……
or Hammond’s name, I’m just saying…
if anyone got announced as being a modern Saville then that is one name that wouldn’t surprise me, same wild eyes and fake smile. My legal advisor says I need to be real careful here – I ain’t saying he is one, just that I get the same uneasy feeling I got when I watched Saville, I am accusing him of having a Savillesque face – that is all
funny thing is I have also heard that Rich hammond isnt a nice bloke in real life either;
my brother works for a pretty big bank in marketing (or did) and was doing some fund raising for charity and they asked if he would guest appear and he responded he wouldnt do it for anything less than £10k..er…i assume he forgot what the word “charity” meant.
So yeah…perhaps a persona he puts on in front of the Tv..
Kind of sounds like Hammond just didn’t want to be associated with a bank. It’s still rude, but it may just have been a joke.
oh he was interested alright – from my brothers version he was deadly serious about the £10k fee since it was a bank running the fund raising.
The bank in question sponsor the premiership ^^.
your brothers a tit, so are you
A wild troll has appeared!
