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.
