Pentagon Reveals News Correction Unit
Jonas Wisser writes "BBC is reporting that a newly created Pentagon unit has a mandate to fight 'inaccurate' news stories. From the article: 'The Pentagon has set up a new unit to focus on promoting its message across 24-hour rolling news outlets, and particularly on the internet. [...] A Pentagon memo seen by the Associated Press news agency said the new unit will "develop messages" for the 24-hour news cycle and aim to "correct the record". A spokesman said the unit would monitor media such as weblogs and would also employ "surrogates", or top politicians or lobbyists who could be interviewed on TV and radio shows.'"
The above post is a complete troll, guns and bombs never killed anyone, its people that killed people! And of course people are motivated by ideas, so the only thing you really can declare war on is an idea, such as terrorism. I think the Generals in the Pentagon have our best interests at heart, regardless of what unsavoury methods might be used to achieve those goals. The question to ask is, whether you would prefer a war of words, or a war of guns and bombs?
This message was brought to you by Dick Cheney's lapdogs, in the name of president pubes.
