Rumsfeld's "office of strategic influence" lives on.

Back In Iraq 2.0: When is a reporter not a reporter?


A scoop for "Back to Iraq". Gotta love Rummy's rhetoric -- his master of scornful dismissal is unequalled. Unsurprisingly the OSI never really went away. (Nor was it merely subcontracted to Fox News.)

For that matter, I rather doubt that "total information awareness" has gone away.

On other fronts, neither Microsoft's "Palladium" nor "Passport" has gone away.

Deleting the name, and moving some bodies around, is a very good way to manage the American media and the American public.
