US Military Spokesperson In Iraq Circulates Fake Islamic State Document As Genuine
By Moon Of Alabama
December 22, 2015"Information Clearing House"-"MOB"- It seems that the U.S. military is propagandizing against the Islamic State by distributing fake Islamic State documents. This, in effect, will make the Islamic State look better than it is.
Iraqi Forces Fighting for Ramadi Make Their Way Toward City Center
In a telephone briefing on Tuesday, [Col. Steven H. Warren, the United States military spokesman in Baghdad,] said that coalition forces had recovered Islamic State leaflets in the nearby city of Falluja urging its fighters if they lose control of the city to impersonate Iraqi security forces and commit atrocities. Some acts that theyre instructed to do on this document include blowing up mosques, killing and torturing civilians and breaking into homes while dressed as I.S.F. fighters, Colonel Warren said, referring to Iraqi security forces. They do all this to discredit the I.S.F.
Colonel Warren called the instructions in the leaflets the behavior of thugs, behavior of killers, the behavior of terrorists.
Colonel Warren also tweeted the"Islamic State leaflet"and its translation:

The document was immediatelyidentified as fake by Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi, a well known researcher who curates a large collectionof all published Islamic State documents:

Dear Col. Steve Warren @OIRSpox, this purported 'Fallujah withdrawal' document is an obvious fake:

Al Tamimi gives two main reasons why he believes the document is fake:
the document allegedly from Fallujah is under an IS letter head from Ninawa province. Fallujah is in Anbar province,
the document refers to the government militia with its real honorable name"Hashd Sha'abi"while the regular derogatory Islamic State term for the militia is"Hashd Rafidi".
Another writer with deep experience in the region also believes that the document is fake:

An Iraq security analyst concurs:
Alex M. @Alex_de_M
COL Warren needs a chat with his G2 section. The leaflets are pretty obviously fakes...
9:45 AM - 22 Dec 2015
One would think that the behavior the Islamic State displays in its own propaganda videos is argument enough to condemn it. By using obviously fake IS documents to condemn the Islamic State the U.S. military creates the opposite effect. That the U.S. needs fake evidence to let the Islamic State look bad actually makes it look better than it is. This not only in the eyes of its followers.
