Military Deception
During a search of an al-Qaeda member's home, police in the U.K. uncovered what is now called "The al-Qaeda Training Manual", that instructs its members on various forms of deception, including forgeries, "blending in", hiding places, etc. including the use of covers to blend into the terrorist area of operation (usually cities with large civilian populations). Most of the MILDEC terrorists use focuses on concealing activities rather than leading adversaries down a false path.

—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“To many men much-wandering hope comes as a boon, but to many others it is the deception of vain desires.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
