So PIC REL is purportedly an image of a US P-8 Poseidon engaged in a secret, controversial combat mission the details of which, if leaked, could potentially start a war, and a chase plane was provided to photograph the aircraft dropping ordnance? And now the photographic evidence is leaked online? Not buying it. How difficult would it be for USMIL to identify the crew of the chase plane as well as others with access to the photographs?
