The American population bases many of their decisions on what they have read, heard, or viewed on television.
How many citizens have read the “Information Operations Roadmap”?
Except:
“information intended for foreign audiences, including public diplomacy and PSYOP, increasingly is consumed by our domestic audience and vice-versa”
“the distinction between foreign and domestic audiences becomes more a question of USG [U.S. government] intent rather than information dissemination practices.”
Off and on little bleeps concerning Bush’s early plans to attack Iraq have been discussed. Now, A memo has been released about this very subject, with little if no coverage in American news. Cold Flute has a great blog article, More Memos from the British, by Poechewe, on this subject.
The present administration has taken advantage of the fury of fear that Sept. 11th created in the American population. Bush has ordered the NSA, FBI, Pentagon, and the CIA to expand domestic spying operations to levels we have never seen before.
As always I question the validity of the information and dis-information that shapes my opinions.
