Several weeks back (maybe a little more) there was a spate of posts about some USian revealing that whatever agency he worked for have just invented a guy that they claimed led some movement in West Asia (might have been a Palestinian movement) and that they spent years writing articles where they just attributed statements to him even though he didn't exist.

I cannot, after hours of searching, find ANY article like this. Was it debunked and scrubbed? Is it just my search-fu is weak? Can anyone help me find it?
