WARNING: Wikileaks CIA Document May Be FAKE

reply to post by TrueAmerican


are u kidding me right?

the document could have been send in PDF, but that doesnt mean the one who sended didnt use some compression, or didnt converted from another format ...

and we are not talking about the original file, that could have received a different compression ...

so, I dont know why you are discussing still, since you dont think outside the box, and you dont seem to understand the computing world ...

Hi True,
This is a genuine CIA pdf on bioterror, you will see that the logo is the same as the Wikileaks example, even to the imperfect circle structure.

www.fas.org...

Hope this helps, Smurfy.

Thanks for that... And that's the way the logo should look if was a source document. Blow that up, and you will see the uniformity of color in the blue area. Compare that to the wiki document, and anyone can see the difference. It goes beyond just mere compression artifacts.

I am a professional graphic designer. I deal with photoshop and logos daily.

PDF (unless saved at 300dpi) files compress images horribly which is why the logo looks like it is.


Also, web logos and print logos are two different things. A print logo is generally 3 colors at most with NO gradients. Any logo on a document would be a print logo.

All wikileaks had to do is copy and paste the offical CIA logo. Why would they try to edit in in any way? Makes no sense.
