Rumsfeld's war on the mind has civilian casualties

American propaganda document says US government doesn't really care if Americans receive misinformation intended for foreign audiences, so long as it doesn't specifically target them.

Obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the National Security Archive at George Washington University and posted on the Web today, the 74-page "Information Operations Roadmap" admits that "information intended for foreign audiences, including public diplomacy and PSYOP, increasingly is consumed by our domestic audience and vice-versa," but argues that "the distinction between foreign and domestic audiences becomes more a question of USG [U.S. government] intent rather than information dissemination practices."

Sweet bunch, they are.
