[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] The ORIGINAL article which started this whole fuss (for those of you who read BEFORE you react) is here: [URL=http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=68&u=/nyt/20020219/ts_nyt/pentagon_readies_efforts_to_sway_sentiment_abroad]http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=68& u=/nyt/20020219/ts_nyt/pentagon_readies_efforts_to_sway_sentiment_abroad[/URL] 1) The activities cited in the article are not permitted DOD activities per authorizing statutes. They fall outside the permitted limits of military information warfare. Those not consumed with paranoid delusion will realize the press got the story wrong - again. 2) Other agencies do perform some types of operation similar to those described in this fiction. DOD does not want those duties, nor has DOD ever shown any particular skill at anything along these lines. 3) Anyone with half an insight into reality would realize that you couldn't perform the supposed mission by merely opening an office in the DOD. Implementation takes specialized deep cover people, units and training. None of which exist or are planned or are even useful in fulfilling DOD's mission. 4)The evil mysterious office in the bowels of the Pentagon which exercises dark control over the world's collective mind is an episode in the X Files. Adults should not confuse this with reality. The only true aspect to this story is the interesting sidelight that it has given the terminally paranoid an excuse to panic and scream abuse at the government. [/QB][/QUOTE]
