Misinformation rules

The US military, industrial complex believes in propaganda, and not always the transparent kind:
“Hoping to counter anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world, the Bush administration has been conducting an information war that is extensive, costly and often hidden, according to documents and interviews with contractors, government officials and military personnel.”

All governments engage in propaganda – though the desperation of the US to increase its support is telling – but if the US administration wants to truly counter anti-American sentiment in the Muslim world, ending persistent meddling and looting would be a good start.
