From this story:

"The Pentagon is developing plans to provide news items, possibly even false ones, to foreign media organizations as part of a new effort to influence public sentiment and policy makers in both friendly and unfriendly countries, military officials said."

How weird is it that we're hearing about things in the discussion phase? It creeps me out, like government officials figure they can't be held accountable for saber rattling and morally questionable actions so long as the general public is told beforehand that it's being discussed as an option.
