Judging from the amount of criticism of this new office--from inside our own military--the Spooks have got a long way to go before they take over.
Besides, disinformation has a long and distinguished history...there's nothing wrong with keeping an opponent guessing. Please note that I said "opponent." I'm not advocating a wholesale pack of lies fed domestically, and I'm not suggesting that disinformation which may cause serious harm or loss to innocent parties is "ok."
