At the very least, we must become more vigilant about the ongoing use of military PSYOP and misinformation – the Pat Tillman case is a perfect example. Holding the Defense Department and media accountable for every mislead regarding the Bush administration's military adventurism is more important than ever.

Action ideas:

1. For a great database on the Bush Administration's misleads about Iraq, see Rep. Henry A. Waxman's, "Iraq on the Record."

2. One Defense Department group particularly especially interested in these topics is The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Its Information Exploitation Office, for example, is focused on "shaping the battlespace before conflict" and its site is filled with snappy computer graphics reminiscent of militaristic video games. Taxpayer dollars hard at work.


3. For media watchdog groups, check out Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting and Media Matters for America.

4. Had enough? E-mail, call or write the White House, Congress or state and local government here.
