“Mac, I’m sending you a file I’ve received about the Battle at Spratly Island. I’d like you to look at it and tell me if the information is worthwhile.” “What kind of information is it?” he asked. Christine had proven to be a sharp reporter and a fast learner. If she thought it was worth looking at, he’d take the time. “Detailed. You’ll probably understand it better than me. I’m sending it now. You’ll have it in a few moments.” “Fine,” Mac replied. “Who’s it from?” “I can’t tell you, and for the moment, don’t send the file to anyone else.” Now he was curious. “Seriously? I can’t use it on my blog?” “Look at it first, then please, call me back.” After promising to call, Mac hung up and checked his e-mail inbox. He found the file, downloaded and opened it. His first impression was of a patchwork of blocks of text, then names and terms started to pop out at him.
