I can vouch for the fact Patrick and his crew were looking into this as you say. Are you sure it is their work that Mike has in his possession? I have followed Mike closely and have never heard him say EXACTLY who the people are who provided him the data on January 9th (that's the correct date, right? I'm too lazy to go back through the video just now! xD). It is great if Patrick's data is what he has, but I think it is even better if he has yet another source, especially if that source is military! Also, if it is Patrick's data he has, I would expect to have seen more of Patrick on frankspeech.com.
I, Peter Strozk, have worked for various governmental agencies as an network engineer and consultant, I know for a fact that MAJOR upstream internet backbone providers certainly have the ability and functionality to create pcaps of this nature and do so all of the time.
No doubt the Fed's/Military have this capability post 9-11 via CALEA.
My big issue with all of this is chain of evidence based, WHO capped the traffic, and why are they not presenting it as evidence.
If this was in-fact either a Mil/Fed operation, then I would argue it is ABSOLUTLEY INCUMBENT upon them to come forward publicly with the information.
