WASHINGTON -- A $300 million Pentagon psychological warfare operation plans to place pro-American messages in foreign media outlets without disclosing the U.S. government as the source, the military official in charge of the program says.

Run by psychological warfare experts at the U.S. Special Operations Command, the worldwide media campaign is being designed to counter terrorist ideology.
The military wants to fight the information war against al-Qaida through newspapers, Web sites, radio, television and items such as T-shirts and bumper stickers.

Good idea?
