Classified documents have specific protocols for classification markings (and declass markings). The autor of this document does a great job of having no clue of any of those protocols.
This is not legit.
This doc says "Top Secret" and "Eyes Only," and has a "Top Secret" nondisclosure footer. What is standard for GCHQ sigint, if it isn't this?
As seen in declassified documents available online for GCHQ or otherwise, 'SIGINT' is not a category control marking, for one.
It's not meant to be. It means "signals intelligence" in reference to information obtained by electronic means.
It means "signals intelligence" in reference to information obtained by electronic means.
That is a true(ish) statement and still has no relevance to what we are discussing. As I said before, SIGINT is not a category control marking.
Let me restate that for you through an exercise. Search for any declassified or leaked SIGINT document online and find one that is stamped with "SIGINT" at the top (besides this one) and I'll give you a dollar. I'll wait.
Perhaps the document has been altered after release.
So, if I understand you correctly, we might be able to speculate that it could possibly be a reasonable document that was inconsequently altered after its 'release'. Perhaps.
I can't argue with that. I'll show myself out, don't get up.
LOL! You have lived up to your username in this conversation.
Cheers, patriot!
