Pentagon Using PR Campaign to Plan War Campaign
The technology is media rather than computers, but here's a lovely article about the Pentagon's use of PR and misinformation as a tool of war. PR Meets Psy-Ops in War on Terror "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."Posted by at December 1, 2004 01:00 PM
