"Wir sind nur manchmal nicht ganz akkurat. Und wenn das jemand merkt,
dann geben wir es zu und sind zerknirscht. Ausserdem haben wir die
regierungsinternen Grabenkämpfe um das neue Büro zur strategischen
Einflussnahme noch nicht im Griff." 
So ähnlich könnte man die folgende Pressemitteilung zusammenfassen. ;-)

RUMSFELD ADDRESSES STRATEGIC INFLUENCE CRITICISM

        The Secretary of Defense today made the following
statement regarding the Department's Office of Strategic
Influence:

        "Government officials, the Department of Defense, this
secretary and the people that work with me tell the American
people and the people of the world the truth.  And to the extent
anyone says anything that at any time proves to have been not
accurate, they correct it at the earliest possible opportunity."

        Rumsfeld mentioned in his comments the Office of
Strategic Influence, created in November 2001 to assist in
crafting policy regarding the military aspects of information
operations.  The charter of the office is still under
development.  However, consistent with Defense Department
policy, under no circumstances will the office or its
contractors knowingly or deliberately disseminate false
information to the American or foreign media or publics.
