Menanggapi pemikiran rekan dimilis sebelah, bahwa: "Black Campaign: Psychological taktik propaganda yang dilakukan oleh any Military group untuk mendiskreditkan dan menghancurkan moral korban2 lawannya, dengan cara melemparkan tuduhan2 palsu, membalikan fakta, ......... "
Yach, kalau mau dilihat secara sempit memang betul, bahwa segala bentuk kegiatan Psy-ops, Propaganda, Undercover Ops yang tergolong dalam unconventional warefare, adalah bagian dari defence policy (baca: Militer) yang menyangkut non-combat activities atau "activities other then war". Stressing saya pada "pandangan sempit" adalah oleh karena: 1.) Dalam negara demokrasi, segala bentuk kegiatan militer mengacu pada kebijakan politik negara yang diatur oleh para politisi. Institusi militer tidak boleh bertindak sendiri diluar koridor kebijakan politik pemerintah, yang mana tidak semuanya transparan untuk konsumsi publik. Kebijakan politik dimaksud, adalah termasuk segala macam "activities other then war" yang sudah merupakan bagian dari modern warfare yang bersifat global. 2.) Psy-ops, dalam arti Propaganda (black campaign), PR, Strategic Communication, Analisa Rekayasa, Public dis-information dll., sudah menjadi "bisnis & industri" --melibatkan kontraktor dan sub-kontraktor, termasuk jaringan LSM/NGO-- yang sangat menjanjikan, karena bersifat continuing project, dengan budget dari negara, multi-national atau big corporations yang sangat beuasaaaar .........

"There are plenty who have messed up and been fired; there are risks," he says. "But if the attitude is 'Something has to be done,' who is going to do it? There are so many PR firms willing to take bucks from the U.S. government. "Outsourcing is either a sign of recognition that the military is not terribly good at certain types of persuasion, or a way of distancing the U.S. government from the messages. If that company then does something which is controversial, the government can say, 'Sorry, it wasn't us, but we'll fire the company that did this supposedly in our name.' *************************************************************************** Berdikusi dg Santun & Elegan, dg Semangat Persahabatan.
