Army feeding false info to press

Officials at the Pentagon and other U.S. national security agencies said the CNN incident was not an isolated feint — the type used throughout history by armies to deceive their enemies — but part of a broad effort underway within the Bush administration to use information to its advantage in the war on terrorism.

 

The Pentagon in 2002 was forced to shutter its controversial Office of Strategic Influence (OSI), which was opened shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, after reports that the office intended to plant false news stories in the international media. But officials say that much of OSI's mission — using information as a tool of war — has been assumed by other offices throughout the U.S. government.

 

I don't have a problem with the Pentagon and our other agencies lying to the American public and international community to help save American lives. I am concerned that the White House could use this also as a means to control the media. CBS and CNN have been rough on us the past week, give them the fake info, Fox and NBC have been good to us, give them the correct information.
