A former Public Affairs Officer at the Pentagon talks about disinformation, leaks, and the military.
I can hear the screams of protest already. What about all those plans such as invasion from the south, invasion from the north, the small war plan, the big war plan, the inside-out plan, blah blah blah. Go back and look the coverage up. Those fantasies didn’t originate from people who really have a clue and their source is never actually identified anyway. Such “scenarios” are dreamed up all the time by self-employed Washington “analysts” or think tankeries who make money from publicity. …
The number of war plans that we were told were sure fire, insider, secret real deal plans that appeared in the media before Desert Storm was amazing, but not one such plan was even close to the plan that was actually implemented.
Fascinating reading.
