And if it were, how would it affect your views of the issues being discussed ?
Consider that we have at least one poster ("erudite": http://answers.yahoo.com/my/profile;_ylt=Ah5G7cTCsm96TkpI8RYgVFQezKIX?show=6931a8d973e2a0c7f37954ef3a68a4c7aa) who PRESENTS HIMSELF AS A VETERAN OF THE US MILITARY, and yet posts at least 5 - 10 messages per day trumpeting ignominious defeat for the US in Iraq, expressing admiration for Hezbollah, often while using flagrantly made-up news stories about "crying Marines".
Further consider that he posts those messages at hours more consistent with the Middle East than the American mid-west, and in a writing style that was never cultivated in a US public school, using slang ("eating shame" ??) more appropriate to Shakespeare than the Army.
If it were proved that person were a paid agent, would it make a difference to how you view the war ?
If there were an organized campaign to use open forums to broadcast propaganda, should it be stopped? If so, how?
