Counterintelligence

Is there a name for the specific counterintelligence practice of convincing an enemy (or just planting a suspicion) that some of their people are spies, when they are not ? StuRat 06:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Disinformation? Or if you're from New York, dis information. A bit more general a term, but that's the best I can do. Clarityfiend 17:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I guess there isn't a specific term. StuRat 08:37, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

None that we're cleared to know anyway. Clarityfiend 11:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
