May 22, 2008 = Rep. Hodes on the Pentagon's "Information Dominance" Program

Last month, the New York Times published an article outlining how the Pentagon set up private briefings for a network of "military experts," who often held financial stakes dependent on continued Pentagon access, in order to achieve "information dominance" in the American media.

Tonight, the House debated an Amendment introduced by Reps. Hodes, DeFazio, and DeLauro to the Defense Authorization Act for FY2009 requiring that "not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Inspector General of the Department of Defense and the Comptroller General of the United States shall each conduct a study of, and submit to the Congress a report on, the extent to which the Department of Defense has violated the prohibition on propaganda" and defines propaganda as "any form of communication in support of national objectives designed to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes, or behavior of the people of the United States in order to benefit the sponsor, either directly or indirectly."
