"An American publisher and global intelligence company."

Exposure

Wikileaks published a lot of internal Stratfor emails.

Strafor analyzed the situation after the NATO bombing of water pipelines in Libya in 2011:

"Since the first phase of the [Great Manmade River] construction in 1991, Libya's population has doubled. Remove that river and, well, there would likely be a very rapid natural correction back to normal carrying capacities.

Kevin Stech a Stratfor research director, joked about the lack of water:

How often do Libyans bathe? You'd have drinking water for a month if you skipped a shower. Cut the baths and the showers and your well water should suffice fordrinking and less-than-optional hygine [sic].
