"As the war in Iraq has spiraled out of control, the Bush administration's covert propaganda campaign has intensified. According to a secret Pentagon report personally approved by Rumsfeld in October 2003 and obtained by Rolling Stone, the Strategic Command is authorized to engage in "military deception" - defined as "presenting false information, images or statements." The seventy-four-page document, titled "Information Operations Roadmap," also calls for psychological operations to be launched over radio, television, cell phones and "emerging technologies" such as the Internet. In addition to being classified secret, the road map is also stamped noforn, meaning it cannot be shared even with our allies."

Spot the Rendon Operatives on MacNN. There are at least 3 of them.

Link, please? I'd like to read the rest of the article. This is the first I've heard of such a group, and I have to admit, I'm a bit skeptical that someone intending to leak information of this magnitude would leak it to Rolling Stone of all publications.

On a lighter note, a Final Fantasy VII-related joke: what's the difference between a Rolling Stone and a furry-fanfic author? A Rolling Stone says "Hey You, Get Off of My Cloud" while a furry-fanfic author says "Hey Cloud, Get Off of My Ewe".
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

There is much information about this group - actually a private PR firm.

Among their known operations is the creation of the Iraqi National Congress itself and there are strong links convicted fraudster Ahmed Chalabi as well as to ex-Saddam henchman and Ba'athist and US stooge Alawi.

They were responsible for the infamous 'babies in incubators' lie leading up to GW1 as well as the notorious 'secret nuclear facilities' lie of "defector" Adnan Ihsan Saeed al-Haideri in 2001 and I have personally no doubt whatsoever they are also responsible for the fake Osama and Zarqawi messages which routinely turn up whenever necessary to scare the sheep back into line.

That's why he's gonna kill us. So we got to beat it. Yeah. Before he let's loose the marmosets on us."
