Anonymous know how to use spill checkers and if Anonymous were engaged in spiffing an FBI document, would obliviously use one too avoid easily discovered mistakes. It must be is the disinformation branch of the FBI who has released this dossier in order to discredit Anonymous.
AC's should be allowed to select the helicopter. I'd never post this with my screen name but is black helicopter stuff.
