Wikileaks provides relevant information to the citizens of the world, an email from the global intelligence file, referenced and quoted below, draws attention to Stratfor and the Aids challenges driven by the Bulgarians who were funded heavily via the CGI.
Does anyone know what Stratfor's involvement here?

BBC Monitoring Alert - BULGARIA
AIDS BENGHAZI
“Earlier in the day the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry issued a joint
statement of the foreign ministers of Bulgaria and Croatia in which they
said they recognized Libya's Interim Transitional National Council (TNC)
as a legitimate representative of the Libyan people.
Libyan Foreign Minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi thanked the EU and Bulgaria
as its member for averting a possible bloodbath in Benghazi, by
launching the air strikes.
"We perceive the ties with Bulgaria as friendly," TNC representatives
said. The participants in the meeting commented the case of the five
Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian intern who were charged with
conspiring to deliberately infect over 400 children with HIV in 1998,
causing an epidemic at El-Fatih Children's Hospital in Benghazi, Libya.
The six were sentenced to death twice and eventually released following
a deal reached with European Union representatives on humanitarian
issues. On 24 July 2007, the five medics and the doctor were extradited
to Bulgaria, where their sentences were commuted by the Bulgarian
president and they were freed.
At the Tuesday meeting the TNC representatives said that new facts are
to come up concerning the case, which will show that "it was staged by
Gaddafi's [Al-Qadhafi's] regime."”

Bulgarian here. Our medics were framed to cover some three-letter-agency's destabilization initiative. AIDS & HIV are very rare in Bulgaria to the point that they're almost non-existent. It was an obvious set-up to allow for the take-over of Lybia, which did actually happen some time afterwards anyways.
Bloodbath was averted that day, but not for long (as we all know). EDIT: I believe the reason for the take over was because Ghaddafi wanted a gold-backed currency to replace the dollar. sauce

Who does Stratfor work for/answer to? Pardon my ignorance.

Not likely. Stratfor specializes in providing intelligence to corporate customers and doing security consulting (i.e. how to avoid executive kidnappings). They monitor intelligence and geopolitical developments all over the world, from both public and private sources, and relay that information to subscribers and consulting clients. This looks like an update from a BBC service they subscribe to that they received.

This was a good insight. Thanks, I wasn't paying close enough attention. Deep down a different hole, just thought this was odd.

I am not convinced Stratfor is totally squeaky clean, so thorough examination of their emails is definitely warranted. I am personally leaning toward the idea that they are much more ethical than Dyncorp, though. There just hasn't been the kind of whistleblowing and run-ins with the law that Dyncorp has had...at least that I have seen. The $65,000 Obama pizza party email seems to be the main suspicious thing.
