Pick a target
Seed a lie to the media

"Information in SENTINEL is collected from numerous sources. Some information may be collected directly from individuals, such as employment applicants, crime victims and witnesses, human sources, and members of the public. Other information may be provided by other law enforcement agencies, including state, local, tribal, and foreign, as well as by other government agencies, including civilian, military, and homeland security. Information may also be collected from private sector entities and open source intelligence (such as newspapers, the Internet, or television broadcasts)."
