> And the "disinformation" campaign was overblown. A general made a comment about an office whose goal is to use information operations in sending news to media outlets, and using disinformation to try to have enemy powers be misinformed about our next target. There was meant to be a distinction between media and intelligence operations for disinformation-but this was interpreted that we'd be attempting to plant lies in the media. As numerous white house officials, the press secretary, and the secretary of defense have explained, this is not and will not be the case, and after public suspiscion over an office to influence the media, it has been shut down.

Tell me what's wrong in this picture...

1) Announce is made that the governement plans to lie, through a special agency.

2) The governement announce that said agency has been closed, and that they won't lie.

Wich statement am I more likely to believe? :-D
