[COLOR="#cc8899"]If Mance Rayder sent in an elite group to infiltrate us, the prime suspicion would fall on someone who not only knew the wall inside and out, but had spent time amongst the Wildlings as well. The flavor of the original post implies that Mance himself is not part of the infiltrating squad (and in the books, was indeed not part of the group that went over the wall with Jon). I do agree that he is known for disguising himself, but I don't see him as being part of the invasion from inside.

You are the fires that burn against the cold, the lights that bring the dawn, the horns that wake the sleepers, the shields that guard the realms of men. You are the Night's Watch, and the wildlings have amassed an army lead by none other than Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-the-Wall. This army is now upon you, and the Wall is officially under attack. Mance has sent a small team of elite chiefs to infiltrate the Watch and take it out from the inside, and you as the Watch must find and eliminate these intruders lest they open the gates and let the rest of the wildlings past the Wall. You are the realm's last hope, you of the Night's Watch. May the Seven guide you in your cause.
Key words: has sent. Not "is leading." He is leading an invading force - he can't afford to leave his camp leaderless in the meantime, especially when he's the only thing barely keeping them together.
Then again, the books never had an infiltrating force in the first place...so...

At any rate, [MENTION=521]Salguod[/MENTION]; denied the claim as Jon Snow, so it's a moot point atm.[/COLOR]
