Bush & Co Using PsyOps Against US Public

A retired US Air Force Colonel says the Bush administration is using psychological warfare strategies - including withholding information, manipulation of imagery and denial of facts - to fool the US public into believing the Iraqi invasion is a success.

"The Army Field Manual describes information operations as the use of strategies such as information denial, deception and psychological warfare to influence decision making. The notion is as old as war itself. With information operations, one seeks to gain and maintain information superiority -- control information and you control the battlefield. And in the information age, it has become even more imperative to influence adversaries.
