Globalisation: Information Operations Task Force

Introduction

The Information operations task force was an organisation within the US Department of Defense which paid Iraqi newspapers to disseminate news stories written by American sources which presented a favourable image of the American action in the country. Although the news stories were truthful they presented a one sided view of the news and the editors of the newspapers in question were not always aware that what they were printing was essentially propoganda from the US Government.
