Harry Bosco

Harry Bosco was a man who would alter information fed to the public during the Vietnam War. In the words of Esther Drummond, "He did it by mistranslation. He couldn't censor or change, but he could manipulate the English translation. Change one word, change the entire meaning."

Eventually, Harry Bosco became not the man, but the process; his name was used as a verb to signify altering information.

Oswald Danes attempted to trick the Torchwood team by feeding them the name "Harry Bosco" as the man behind the Miracle. Esther, however, did not buy it. (TV: The Gathering)
