    I agree. He doesn't look very worried at all. In fact he almost looks like he has a smirk on his face. And I just don't get how he can be out vacationing when he is supposed to broke. Also it's strange as we've said before how no one bothers him and he always has a photographer with him. And it's not like these are some candid shots, he is looking right at the camera. IDK. Weird <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->

    Conrad's head and neck are so much darker than the rest of his body. Now would that be because his shirt collar comes to that place and the rest of him doesn't see the sunlight to tan or would that be because his head is being photoshopped onto another body?

    Joint Warfare Centre
    Mission Overview - August 24, 2004
    Changes to the NATO command structure
    At the groundbreaking NATO summit at Prague in November 2002, Alliance leaders initiated ambitious changes to the NATO command structure that would focus the Alliance on the needs of the future. The focus of this rapid shift in traditional NATO thinking is an acknowledgement that the world has changed; technology moves at an ever-increasing pace and operational tasks are more varied, unexpected and demand far greater flexibility in approach.

    New and more flexible structure
    Approved at the Defence Minister Meeting in June 03, a demanding Transformational effort should provide the Alliance with a new and more flexible structure that will allow it to more efficiently address its rapidly evolving and expanding operational responsibilities.
    http://www.jwc.nato.int/category.php?categoryID=15

    Please read the following article from JWC own website explaining how they are manipulating the media, training through simulating interviews, and briefing military personal on what to say, how to respond etc.

    MEDIA TRAINING AT THE JOINT WARFARE CENTRE FOR TODAY'S OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
    November 5, 2008, by Inci Kucukaksoy
    The Joint Warfare Centre’s Media Simulation Team provides television media simulation and basic media training for commanders and their staffs during NATO Response Force (NRF) exercises and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission rehearsals. The team falls under the JWC’s Joint Exercise Division. Although this capability is only two years old, the staff has already trained well over 100 senior leaders from all over Europe and their services are in constant demand.

    In addition to the NRF and ISAF missions, the team has also supported exercises with the Joint Force Training Centre, the Maritime Component Command Headquarters Naples, and provided customized media training to the French Rapid Reaction Corps.

    The media training sessions are tailored to each exercise or event, but there are some basics to each one. Normally, the commander and senior staff are provided a group briefing that sets the foundation for successful media encounters. This includes discussions on the importance of media in military operations, and, thus, the importance of media training as well as the development and delivery of critical messages. Practical interview techniques are also covered including interview planning, preparation and post-interview analysis.

    In both interview settings, the key to success is advance preparation and practice. Preparing key messages that are backed with examples and personal experiences provide the strategic foundation for the interview. Practicing the deli?very of these messages in advance will allow for tactical success once the cameras are rolling.

    In closure, the results of advanced media training can be seen at all levels, from junior staff officers in public affairs positions to senior commanders going into major operations. It is not unusual to see NATO Commanders and spokespersons trained by the JWC media training team on CNN, BBC or other international media outlets. Many attribute their success with real world media to the training they received from the JWC’s Media Simulation and Training team as well as exposure on the JWC’s media simulation “World News Today” during exercises and mission rehearsals.

    MEDIA training and simulation remains a relatively new concept for many NATO member countries. It was not all that long ago that the media were considered the enemy; something to be avoided at all costs or at least kept at a safe distance. Much of this thinking stemmed from a perception that widespread media coverage of military operations was poor, inaccurate or both. However, military commanders have begun to realize the critical role the media plays in their operations, and as a result media training and simulation is now a highly demanded element of operational level training. Television, newspaper, radio and even the so-called “new media” of bloggers, independent journalists and web journalists are now simulated during many military exercises.

    Consideration of the media is particularly important for NATO commanders, whose staffs come from 26 NATO member nations as well as multiple coalition and partner nations. The ability to successfully get a message out is much more critical when operating in such a diverse environment. There is a direct correlation between public perception of an operation and the level of support the people of the nation are willing to provide. Winning the hearts and minds of the people no longer just refers to the location in which the operation is ongoing, it is also essential to maintain the backing of the people of each nation providing support to the operation.

    Maximizing the media and using it as a tool is not a new concept for our enemies, who have proven time and again to be quite masterful at using the media to further their agendas. Arguably, insurgents and terrorist groups are doing a far better job at using the media in their campaigns than many modern militaries around the world. After all, the root concept of terrorism is to inspire fear among the people. It is not the actual act, but the fear of the act that intimidates. Thus, the insurgents’ success cannot just be attributed to the conduct of attacks, but by making sure people are aware that they are capable of doing these acts, and they have successfully been able to do that through the media.

    In the past, insurgent or terrorist vi?deos used to be very basic productions shot with low quality consumer camcorders. Today, however, many of these videos are shot on digital video and include flashy graphics and animations all designed to grab the viewers’ interest and keep their attention. This is a testament to the progression and effectiveness of the media that our enemies have quickly recognized.

    It is also clear insurgents carefully time their operations, such as suicide attacks and bombings to garner the greatest amount of media coverage possible. They consider broadcast time lines, particularly in the nations they are targeting, as they plan their attacks to ensure news of their acts reach the largest possible audience. Their goal is to erode the support of each participating nation, resulting in the country pulling its troops out of the region, ultimately affecting NATO’s ability to sustain the operation.

    In Afghanistan and Iraq, insurgents rarely deploy for an attack without a video camera. They are masters of marketing themselves, and the results have been quite effective, with the goal of intimidation achieved.
    NATO has been challenged for some time to get messages out quickly after attacks have occurred. This is because of several factors. The insurgents are planning and conducting the attacks, so they will naturally come online faster with their statements. The insurgency also has a more streamlined chain of command, and is not tied down with the bureaucratic necessities of an organization like NATO, in which products such as press releases must be approved at multiple levels prior to release. And the insurgency is also not bound by the same rules as the military. They don’t have to check facts; they frequently make false statements that cannot be verified by the media, and yet are often still broadcast by many media outlets. Finally, bad news is more interesting to the media, and often NATO messages are overlooked in favour of more sensational stories.

    With all that being said, this does not mean it is impossible to successfully interact with the media and thus get essential messages and stories out to the public. The first step is to understand how the media works and to be prepared for interaction and engagement. NATO military commanders have to treat the media like any other weapon system in their arsenal. Just like when a new aircraft is bought or a new tank is delivered, there is a plan for personnel, training and sustainment of that weapon system. A soldier would not deploy with a weapon he or she was not trained to use, and that is why media training prior to deployment is essential.

    Journalists from all fields spend years training and perfecting their skills at asking provoking or pointed questions, therefore it stands to reason that military leaders should spend some time perfecting their communication skills to successfully handle these types of questions. It should not be assumed that a safe way around this is to have a Public Affairs officer handle these interviews. The PAO team is indeed a unit’s expert on dealing with the media, but they are not by any means the only people who are able to speak with the media. Reporters prefer to interview operators and news makers, not spokespersons. PAOs are good for background information and are key to setting up interviews, however, most reporters understand they can get better quotes or sound bites from those closely involved in an operation.

    This is why media training prior to deployment is so essential for military commanders and their key leaders. A commander should not wait until the camera is running and a million people are watching to consider the importance of media training. By then it is too late, the damage is done, and it cannot be taken back.

    The challenge for many of NATO’s senior leaders is that there are not many opportunities for structured media training. Some NATO nations provide it as a function of Staff College, but most do not. Media training has historically been considered a national responsibility, but most nations simply do not have the resources or the expertise to get to a level of training necessary to prepare them for real world media encounters.

    DO - Directorate of Operation (US CIA)

    CIA and the Media
    The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), America's intelligence agency, has made use of media assets, both foreign and domestic, for its covert operations. It was first reported on in the late 1960s, when it became known that that the Congress for Cultural Freedom was largely funded by the CIA. In 1973, the Washington Star-News reported that CIA had enlisted more than thirty Americans working abroad as journalists, citing an internal CIA inquiry ordered by CIA director William E. Colby. The Church Committee was the first congressional committee established in the 1970s to look specifically into the CIA's past activities. Some classified information in the (unpublished) report of the Pike Committee was leaked to The Village Voice, which showed more details on the CIA's media manipulation. The Committee mentioned that the:
    CIA, as no doubt every other major intelligence agency in the world, has manipulated the media. Full-time foreign correspondents for major U.S. publications have worked concurrently for CIA, passing along information received in the normal course of their regular jobs and even, on occasion, travelling to otherwise non-newsworthy areas to acquire data. Far more prevalent is the Agency's practice of retaining free-lancers and "stringers" as informants...CIA acknowledges that "stringers" and others with whom the Agency has a relationship are often directed to insert Agency-composed "news" articles into foreign publications and wire services. U.S. intelligence officials do not rule out the possibility that these planted stories may find their way into American newspapers from time to time, but insist that CIA does not intentionally propagandize in this country."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_and_the_media

    CIA influence on Public Opinion
    At various times, under its own authority or in accordance with directives from the President of the United States or the National Security Council staff, the Central Intelligence Agency has attempted to influence domestic and international public opinion, and sometimes law enforcement. This article does not address, other than incidental to influencing opinion or actions reasonably associated with CIA security, possibly illegal domestic surveillance.

    It also does not address narrowly focused psychological warfare in support of covert or military action. The focus of this article is on long-term influence on opinion leaders, including journalists, artists, labor leaders, etc., rather than starting rumors to assist in supporting a coup.

    This is an area with many shades of gray. There is little argument, for example, that the CIA acted inappropriately in providing technical support to White House operatives conducting both political and security investigations, with no legal authority to do so. While there is an established history of assigning responsibilities for international psychological operations to various organizations, depending if the operation is overt or clandestine, there are also questions of the wisdom of a particular operation.

    Things become much more ambiguous when law enforcement may expose a clandestine operation, a problem not unique to intelligence but also seen among different law enforcement organizations, where one wants to prosecute and another to continue investigations, perhaps reaching higher levels in a conspiracy.

    Not all inappropriate activities were initiated or conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency, but by other members of the United States Intelligence Community. In particular, the Federal Bureau of Investigation took a very broad view of its mandate to collect information to protect against domestic subversion. In other cases, the National Security Agency intercepted electronic communications without the warrants deemed necessary at the time.

    It has been suggested that a number of things assigned to CIA really did not need to be clandestine, and having an overt organization support initiatives desired by the U.S. government has much less political risk. The United States Information Agency (USIA) has always been an overt white propaganda organization. Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, as distinct from the Voice of America (VOA), had been clandestinely funded through the CIA, but, with the VOA, now all come under the authority of a quasi-public corporation, the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG). BBG was part of USIA until 1999.

    Another overt organization, the National Endowment for Democracy, was created in 1983. William Blum, an author and critic of the CIA and U.S. foreign policy, suggests it was set up to legally continue the CIA's prohibited activities of support to selected political parties abroad.

    Pentagon Launches Probe into Document Leaks
    By Army Sgt. 1st Class Michael J. Carden
    American Forces Press Service
    WASHINGTON, July 27, 2010 – The Pentagon has launched an investigation to find out how thousands of classified military documents were leaked to the group WikiLeaks.org, a Defense Department spokesman said.

    The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, also known as CID, is heading the investigation, Marine Corps Col. Dave Lapan told Pentagon reporters today. “An investigation has been initiated, [and] Army CID has the lead,” Lapan said. Having the Army take charge of the investigation doesn’t suggest that Army personnel are responsible for the leaks, Lapan explained. CID was chosen for its capabilities in such matters, he said. “[CID] is an investigative agency that has the ability, the capability, to do these types of things,” Lapan said. “There are a number of investigative agencies [within the Pentagon], but the decision was made that Army CID takes the lead.”

    Army CID, he said, also is investigating the case of Army Spc. Bradley Manning, who has been charged with leaking a video of a U.S. helicopter attack in Iraq to WikiLeaks. The document leaks investigation is a continuation or extension of the existing open investigation on Manning, Lapan said. However, he added, the document leak investigation is “broader” than the Manning case.

    “The current investigation into the leak of the documents to WikiLeaks isn’t focused on any one, specific individual,” Lapan said. “It’s much broader. They’re going to look everywhere to determine what the source may be.”

    Defense secretary stands behind new media rules
    July 8, 2010 - 5:06pm
    Defense Secretary Robert Gates gestures a news conference at the Pentagon, Thursday, July 8, 2010.
    By ANNE GEARAN
    AP National Security Writer

    WASHINGTON (AP) - New requirements that even top brass get Pentagon approval before talking to the press will not muzzle the media's watchdog role or stop soldiers on the front lines from speaking freely, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.

    Gates defended the directive issued last week but offered few new specifics about how it will work.

    The brief, stern memo from Gates also restated prohibitions on release of classified material. But it is the requirement for pre-approval of media contacts that has raised free-speech concerns and sown confusion about what and who is covered.

    "This is not about you. This is about us," Gates said during a Pentagon press conference. "This is about us doing things in an uncoordinated way. It is about people in this department speaking out on issues where they don't have all the facts, where they may not have the perspective."

    The Pentagon chief said he issued the order because of his concern that the military has become "too lax, disorganized and in some cases flat-out sloppy" in dealings with the press.

    Gates conceded that there will always be leaks _ his own memo on media engagement was leaked the day it went out to top military and civilian defense leaders _ and he implied that leaks have their place.

    Media reports on shabby conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and design flaws in equipment sent to the front lines in Iraq drew in part on anonymous tips, and Gates cited some of those reports as alarm bells he had used to make improvements.

    He appeared sensitive to criticism that he is hiding bad news, including news from the stalemated war in Afghanistan. Pentagon officials have said that rules for reporters traveling with military units, called embedded reporters or embeds, will not be affected.

    "If you're a captain in a unit that has an embedded reporter, as long as you're within the guidelines and the rules, we expect you to be open with that embedded reporter," Gates said.

    "On the other hand, if you're a captain in this building, working on budget options, I expect you to keep your mouth shut."

    omg stop with the head cropped on a body nonsense. The man probably ALWAYS wears shirts in California & Vegas, so his chest never gets any sun. That is why his face & neck (which are always exposed) are darker. Sorry to be rude but that's what happens whe one part of your body is exposed more to the sun than another part. I live in Seattle so I wear long pants most of the year. So when summer time rolls around & I put on shorts my legs look white compared to my tan arms & face, lol. Simple answer. No photoshop required. & this pic is soooo staged, he's pretty much posing for the picture. He's got to be an actor otherwise this sickens me. <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->

    Please read the following article from JWC own website explaining how they are manipulating the media, training through simulating interviews, and briefing military personal on what to say, how to respond etc.

    MEDIA TRAINING AT THE JOINT WARFARE CENTRE FOR TODAY'S OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
    November 5, 2008, by Inci Kucukaksoy
    The Joint Warfare Centre’s Media Simulation Team provides television media simulation and basic media training for commanders and their staffs during NATO Response Force (NRF) exercises and International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission rehearsals. The team falls under the JWC’s Joint Exercise Division. Although this capability is only two years old, the staff has already trained well over 100 senior leaders from all over Europe and their services are in constant demand.

    In addition to the NRF and ISAF missions, the team has also supported exercises with the Joint Force Training Centre, the Maritime Component Command Headquarters Naples, and provided customized media training to the French Rapid Reaction Corps.

    The media training sessions are tailored to each exercise or event, but there are some basics to each one. Normally, the commander and senior staff are provided a group briefing that sets the foundation for successful media encounters. This includes discussions on the importance of media in military operations, and, thus, the importance of media training as well as the development and delivery of critical messages. Practical interview techniques are also covered including interview planning, preparation and post-interview analysis.

    In both interview settings, the key to success is advance preparation and practice. Preparing key messages that are backed with examples and personal experiences provide the strategic foundation for the interview. Practicing the deli?very of these messages in advance will allow for tactical success once the cameras are rolling.

    In closure, the results of advanced media training can be seen at all levels, from junior staff officers in public affairs positions to senior commanders going into major operations. It is not unusual to see NATO Commanders and spokespersons trained by the JWC media training team on CNN, BBC or other international media outlets. Many attribute their success with real world media to the training they received from the JWC’s Media Simulation and Training team as well as exposure on the JWC’s media simulation “World News Today” during exercises and mission rehearsals.

    MEDIA training and simulation remains a relatively new concept for many NATO member countries. It was not all that long ago that the media were considered the enemy; something to be avoided at all costs or at least kept at a safe distance. Much of this thinking stemmed from a perception that widespread media coverage of military operations was poor, inaccurate or both. However, military commanders have begun to realize the critical role the media plays in their operations, and as a result media training and simulation is now a highly demanded element of operational level training. Television, newspaper, radio and even the so-called “new media” of bloggers, independent journalists and web journalists are now simulated during many military exercises.

    Consideration of the media is particularly important for NATO commanders, whose staffs come from 26 NATO member nations as well as multiple coalition and partner nations. The ability to successfully get a message out is much more critical when operating in such a diverse environment. There is a direct correlation between public perception of an operation and the level of support the people of the nation are willing to provide. Winning the hearts and minds of the people no longer just refers to the location in which the operation is ongoing, it is also essential to maintain the backing of the people of each nation providing support to the operation.

    Maximizing the media and using it as a tool is not a new concept for our enemies, who have proven time and again to be quite masterful at using the media to further their agendas. Arguably, insurgents and terrorist groups are doing a far better job at using the media in their campaigns than many modern militaries around the world. After all, the root concept of terrorism is to inspire fear among the people. It is not the actual act, but the fear of the act that intimidates. Thus, the insurgents’ success cannot just be attributed to the conduct of attacks, but by making sure people are aware that they are capable of doing these acts, and they have successfully been able to do that through the media.

    In the past, insurgent or terrorist vi?deos used to be very basic productions shot with low quality consumer camcorders. Today, however, many of these videos are shot on digital video and include flashy graphics and animations all designed to grab the viewers’ interest and keep their attention. This is a testament to the progression and effectiveness of the media that our enemies have quickly recognized.

    It is also clear insurgents carefully time their operations, such as suicide attacks and bombings to garner the greatest amount of media coverage possible. They consider broadcast time lines, particularly in the nations they are targeting, as they plan their attacks to ensure news of their acts reach the largest possible audience. Their goal is to erode the support of each participating nation, resulting in the country pulling its troops out of the region, ultimately affecting NATO’s ability to sustain the operation.

    In Afghanistan and Iraq, insurgents rarely deploy for an attack without a video camera. They are masters of marketing themselves, and the results have been quite effective, with the goal of intimidation achieved.
    NATO has been challenged for some time to get messages out quickly after attacks have occurred. This is because of several factors. The insurgents are planning and conducting the attacks, so they will naturally come online faster with their statements. The insurgency also has a more streamlined chain of command, and is not tied down with the bureaucratic necessities of an organization like NATO, in which products such as press releases must be approved at multiple levels prior to release. And the insurgency is also not bound by the same rules as the military. They don’t have to check facts; they frequently make false statements that cannot be verified by the media, and yet are often still broadcast by many media outlets. Finally, bad news is more interesting to the media, and often NATO messages are overlooked in favour of more sensational stories.

    With all that being said, this does not mean it is impossible to successfully interact with the media and thus get essential messages and stories out to the public. The first step is to understand how the media works and to be prepared for interaction and engagement. NATO military commanders have to treat the media like any other weapon system in their arsenal. Just like when a new aircraft is bought or a new tank is delivered, there is a plan for personnel, training and sustainment of that weapon system. A soldier would not deploy with a weapon he or she was not trained to use, and that is why media training prior to deployment is essential.

    Journalists from all fields spend years training and perfecting their skills at asking provoking or pointed questions, therefore it stands to reason that military leaders should spend some time perfecting their communication skills to successfully handle these types of questions. It should not be assumed that a safe way around this is to have a Public Affairs officer handle these interviews. The PAO team is indeed a unit’s expert on dealing with the media, but they are not by any means the only people who are able to speak with the media. Reporters prefer to interview operators and news makers, not spokespersons. PAOs are good for background information and are key to setting up interviews, however, most reporters understand they can get better quotes or sound bites from those closely involved in an operation.

    This is why media training prior to deployment is so essential for military commanders and their key leaders. A commander should not wait until the camera is running and a million people are watching to consider the importance of media training. By then it is too late, the damage is done, and it cannot be taken back.

    The challenge for many of NATO’s senior leaders is that there are not many opportunities for structured media training. Some NATO nations provide it as a function of Staff College, but most do not. Media training has historically been considered a national responsibility, but most nations simply do not have the resources or the expertise to get to a level of training necessary to prepare them for real world media encounters.

    DO - Directorate of Operation (US CIA)

    CIA and the Media
    The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), America's intelligence agency, has made use of media assets, both foreign and domestic, for its covert operations. It was first reported on in the late 1960s, when it became known that that the Congress for Cultural Freedom was largely funded by the CIA. In 1973, the Washington Star-News reported that CIA had enlisted more than thirty Americans working abroad as journalists, citing an internal CIA inquiry ordered by CIA director William E. Colby. The Church Committee was the first congressional committee established in the 1970s to look specifically into the CIA's past activities. Some classified information in the (unpublished) report of the Pike Committee was leaked to The Village Voice, which showed more details on the CIA's media manipulation. The Committee mentioned that the:
    CIA, as no doubt every other major intelligence agency in the world, has manipulated the media. Full-time foreign correspondents for major U.S. publications have worked concurrently for CIA, passing along information received in the normal course of their regular jobs and even, on occasion, travelling to otherwise non-newsworthy areas to acquire data. Far more prevalent is the Agency's practice of retaining free-lancers and "stringers" as informants...CIA acknowledges that "stringers" and others with whom the Agency has a relationship are often directed to insert Agency-composed "news" articles into foreign publications and wire services. U.S. intelligence officials do not rule out the possibility that these planted stories may find their way into American newspapers from time to time, but insist that CIA does not intentionally propagandize in this country."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_and_the_media

    CIA influence on Public Opinion
    At various times, under its own authority or in accordance with directives from the President of the United States or the National Security Council staff, the Central Intelligence Agency has attempted to influence domestic and international public opinion, and sometimes law enforcement. This article does not address, other than incidental to influencing opinion or actions reasonably associated with CIA security, possibly illegal domestic surveillance.

    It also does not address narrowly focused psychological warfare in support of covert or military action. The focus of this article is on long-term influence on opinion leaders, including journalists, artists, labor leaders, etc., rather than starting rumors to assist in supporting a coup.

    This is an area with many shades of gray. There is little argument, for example, that the CIA acted inappropriately in providing technical support to White House operatives conducting both political and security investigations, with no legal authority to do so. While there is an established history of assigning responsibilities for international psychological operations to various organizations, depending if the operation is overt or clandestine, there are also questions of the wisdom of a particular operation.

    Things become much more ambiguous when law enforcement may expose a clandestine operation, a problem not unique to intelligence but also seen among different law enforcement organizations, where one wants to prosecute and another to continue investigations, perhaps reaching higher levels in a conspiracy.

    Not all inappropriate activities were initiated or conducted by the Central Intelligence Agency, but by other members of the United States Intelligence Community. In particular, the Federal Bureau of Investigation took a very broad view of its mandate to collect information to protect against domestic subversion. In other cases, the National Security Agency intercepted electronic communications without the warrants deemed necessary at the time.

    It has been suggested that a number of things assigned to CIA really did not need to be clandestine, and having an overt organization support initiatives desired by the U.S. government has much less political risk. The United States Information Agency (USIA) has always been an overt white propaganda organization. Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, as distinct from the Voice of America (VOA), had been clandestinely funded through the CIA, but, with the VOA, now all come under the authority of a quasi-public corporation, the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG). BBG was part of USIA until 1999.

    Another overt organization, the National Endowment for Democracy, was created in 1983. William Blum, an author and critic of the CIA and U.S. foreign policy, suggests it was set up to legally continue the CIA's prohibited activities of support to selected political parties abroad.

    Pentagon Launches Probe into Document Leaks
    By Army Sgt. 1st Class Michael J. Carden
    American Forces Press Service
    WASHINGTON, July 27, 2010 – The Pentagon has launched an investigation to find out how thousands of classified military documents were leaked to the group WikiLeaks.org, a Defense Department spokesman said.

    The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, also known as CID, is heading the investigation, Marine Corps Col. Dave Lapan told Pentagon reporters today. “An investigation has been initiated, [and] Army CID has the lead,” Lapan said. Having the Army take charge of the investigation doesn’t suggest that Army personnel are responsible for the leaks, Lapan explained. CID was chosen for its capabilities in such matters, he said. “[CID] is an investigative agency that has the ability, the capability, to do these types of things,” Lapan said. “There are a number of investigative agencies [within the Pentagon], but the decision was made that Army CID takes the lead.”

    Army CID, he said, also is investigating the case of Army Spc. Bradley Manning, who has been charged with leaking a video of a U.S. helicopter attack in Iraq to WikiLeaks. The document leaks investigation is a continuation or extension of the existing open investigation on Manning, Lapan said. However, he added, the document leak investigation is “broader” than the Manning case.

    “The current investigation into the leak of the documents to WikiLeaks isn’t focused on any one, specific individual,” Lapan said. “It’s much broader. They’re going to look everywhere to determine what the source may be.”

    Defense secretary stands behind new media rules

    Defense Secretary Robert Gates gestures a news conference at the Pentagon, Thursday, July 8, 2010.
    By ANNE GEARAN
    AP National Security Writer

    WASHINGTON (AP) - New requirements that even top brass get Pentagon approval before talking to the press will not muzzle the media's watchdog role or stop soldiers on the front lines from speaking freely, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Thursday.

    Gates defended the directive issued last week but offered few new specifics about how it will work.

    The brief, stern memo from Gates also restated prohibitions on release of classified material. But it is the requirement for pre-approval of media contacts that has raised free-speech concerns and sown confusion about what and who is covered.

    "This is not about you. This is about us," Gates said during a Pentagon press conference. "This is about us doing things in an uncoordinated way. It is about people in this department speaking out on issues where they don't have all the facts, where they may not have the perspective."

    The Pentagon chief said he issued the order because of his concern that the military has become "too lax, disorganized and in some cases flat-out sloppy" in dealings with the press.

    Gates conceded that there will always be leaks _ his own memo on media engagement was leaked the day it went out to top military and civilian defense leaders _ and he implied that leaks have their place.

    Media reports on shabby conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and design flaws in equipment sent to the front lines in Iraq drew in part on anonymous tips, and Gates cited some of those reports as alarm bells he had used to make improvements.

    He appeared sensitive to criticism that he is hiding bad news, including news from the stalemated war in Afghanistan. Pentagon officials have said that rules for reporters traveling with military units, called embedded reporters or embeds, will not be affected.

    "If you're a captain in a unit that has an embedded reporter, as long as you're within the guidelines and the rules, we expect you to be open with that embedded reporter," Gates said.

    "On the other hand, if you're a captain in this building, working on budget options, I expect you to keep your mouth shut."

    From the title of the article:

    Just What The Doctor Ordered
    Exactly what is wanted or needed. - In the view of the US Government, Elites etc. Total control of the media is what they need as a solution to controlling the information received by the public and the men/women in uniform.
    I have came across another perspective. And I must admit that it may also serve the US Gov finally...

    Wikileaks/Wikipedia Truth Serving Lies (with CIA/Mossad oversight)

    So Wikileaks has exposed the truth about the Afghan/Pakistan war? 91,000 leaked documents expose the fact that war is a nasty, two-faced, dishonorable business with even (shock horror) covert operations set up to assassinate leaders of the enemy.

    What is getting most attention, however, is the allegation that the ISI (the Pakistani Secret Service) is secretly backing the Taliban and other documents demanding that the Pakistani government turn decisively against the militants, creating a justification for US operations inside Pakistan and a possible pretext for full-on invasion of the country.

    A few months ago we were reading that the US were funding the Taliban. There are many other stories of this kind from people like Webster Tarpley and Wayne Madsen.

    WHISTLEBLOWING?
    All this 'whistleblowing' does little other than serve the interests of the US possibly expanding their war. No establishment figure is seriously compromised by these 'leaks', nor is policy undermined in any new way. The war is wicked? The people who care already know that and this 'new' information makes little difference to that perception one way or the other.

    Why do the 'leaks' contain no embarrassing whistleblowing. Why is there no exposition of the betrayal felt by many soldiers and their officers who know the war(s) have got nothing to do with protecting America or the UK (....I have spoken to one British army officer who is acutely aware of the betrayal of his troops and of wider British interests and is waiting for [and working towards] the same revolution as myself. Meeting this man was the most encouraging moment of the last six months for me).

    Wikileaks made its name with this footage.

    Again, innocent people get murdered by coalition troops. Evil...embarrassing....but tell us something we didn't know.

    We know that the powers-that-be are determined to control both sides of every argument. They lead the opposition against themselves. That's why "Stop The War" will not even MENTION 9/11 Truth and exclude from the ranks of their leadership anyone who wants to raise reasonable questions about the events of 9/11.

    Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is 'annoyed' by 9/11 truth. That there IN ITSELF makes him, to any sensible person, a placeman of the security services.

    This, like the StopTheWar position, is called a 'limited hangout'. There is no end of this kind of maneuvering out there as in, for example, Chomsky's indefatigable support of Israel ("America" is the problem, not the international bankers who own it nor the Jewish Lobby who control it.....criticism most definitely never goes THERE. These are simply NOT issues).

    LIMITED HANGOUT

    'Limited hangout' is making a pretense at protest in order to disable genuine protest.
    IT IS USING TRUTH TO SERVE LIES.

    It is the Hegelian dialectic in action. Many good people are led down futile paths when they trust and follow these people. Even the name for the operation, 'Wikileaks', tells a story.

    Here we see one CIA/Mossad operation supporting another. We are supposed to see 'Wiki' and think 'truth' as in that honourable internet encyclopedia 'Wikipedia'(......whose 'Mossad' entry, by the way, does NOT include their famous motto, "By way of deception thou shalt make war"). There is a lifetimes work for somebody exposing the spinning and obfuscation in support of establishment narratives on this lousy site.

    For a more detailed look at the 'Wikileaks' operation see here.

    LATE NEWS
    Uh-O. Lookee here....Wikileaks 'reveal' that Bin Laden was being tracked through Pakistan:

    "In August 2006, a US intelligence report placed Bin Laden at a meeting in Quetta, over the border in Pakistan.
    It said he and others - including the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar - were organising suicide attacks in Afghanistan."

    So there it is. That evil fiend, Bin Laden, is not dead (as most people who follow the information believe). He is alive and well and organising Al Qaeda, or is it the Taliban, to carry out suicide bombings against our boys in Afghanistan.

    Well, now we know.

    <!-- m -->http://kevboyle.blogspot.com/2010/07/wi ... -lies.html<!-- m -->
    So what do you guys think about Wikileaks ? Playing a double game or not ? I'm lost...

    http://michaeljacksonhoaxforum.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=12770

    The wiki leaks could be "Just What The Doctored Ordered" to make this new government policy seem that it is required but let's not forget that the CIA and other government agencies have been manipulating the media for years. By controlling whistle blowers, the information that is received is only what the US Government/Military want the public and servicemen/women to know.

    Certainly they manipulate information and lie blatantly, especially when these media convey something like this;
    receive a high-ranking military and said ,.... "We want to ask! Apologies! But we are" wrong "and bombed one! School!, Or home of a family ...! They suck!

    Michael Jackson's doctor frolics with his ex-strippger girlfriend (as seven medics who treated the star escape criminal charges)

    By Daily Mail Reporter
    Michael Jackson's doctor looks like he hasn't a care in the world as he enjoyed a sunshine break in Miami with his ex-stripper girlfriend and their young son.

    But the pressure is still very much on Conrad Murray despite the news that seven doctors who treated the star will not have charges brought against them.

    The doctors were part of an investigation by California state attorney general Jerry Brown's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement.

    Beach daddy: Conrad Murray with his seventh child Che Giovanni Murray enjoys the sun and sea in Miami


    One doctor whose name was not released was referred to the California Medical Board for prescribing drugs to a Jackson alias, said spokeswoman Christine Gasparac.

    Candis Cohen, a board spokeswoman, declined to confirm the action, saying complaints and investigations were not public record.

    Murray, who was Jackson's personal doctor, pleaded not guilty to Jackson's involuntary manslaughter. He is due in court again on Monday August 23.

    In the meantime, 57-year-old Murray took the chance to enjoy a break in Miami with his partner Nicole Alvarez, 27, and his seventh child Che Giovanni Murray, who was born in March last year.

    Accompanying them was what appeared to be a burly minder, wearing a Lakers vest, who carrying Murray's bag for him as he left the poolside.

    Authorities said Murray provided Jackson with a mix of sedatives, including a powerful anaesthetic that killed him in June 2009.

    Murray was not among the seven doctors involved in the state investigation.

    Los Angeles police who investigated the death had asked state and federal investigators to look into the prescribing practices of doctors who previously treated the 50-year-old pop star.

    The US federal Drug Enforcement Agency also stopped investigating the actions of any other Jackson doctors, agency spokeswoman Sarah Pullen said.

    Away from it all: Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray looking pensive by the poolside in Miami where he is on holiday with his girlfriend Nicole Alvarez and their baby

    'I am very disappointed,' said attorney Brian Oxman, who represents Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson in a wrongful death lawsuit against Murray.

    'The misuse of medications by Michael Jackson in the last years of his life was excessive and to fail to bring that to the public eye is ignoring reality.'

    Last month Michael Jackson's father filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Murray.

    The suit, which seeks more than £50,000 damages, was filed in Los Angeles on the first anniversary of the singer’s death.

    Joe Jackson accused Dr Conrad Murray of negligence for giving his son the Propofol that led to his death.

    It also alleges the doctor gave false information about the drugs Jackson had taken and that he tried to clean up the scene.

    Thanks Serenity for your answer and your hard work in deciphering the dots ! The reality is really not always what it seems. As you say they control the medias for so long that they have reached a high level of manipulation and melting truth with lies is one of the techniques used. The lie becomes the truth...

    "Just what the Doctor Ordered" is a perfect title matching an idea I had about the medias . It's also a kind of parallel with the hoax. I said that the media are a deep anesthetic (like Morphine or Propofol) that neutralize all critical thinking. It is like the world population was under perfusion and the drug administered is just what the Doctor ordered (who is the Doctor ? I'd say a world criminal organization). This drug is made of lies and half truths or, like in this case, truths melted with lies. Difficult to see clear in this cloudy weather (and state of mind). With such a treatment we have a population which is deeply asleep and not aware of what is really going on behind the curtain. Unless we investigate for ourselves and all use the brain God gave us <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> .

    That's why manipulation of the media is very important for them. This is a strong power they have here because they are simply shaping people's minds into believing what they want them to believe (make believe), into living how they want them to live.

    We really shouldn't underestimate the power of the media. Thank you again.


    By the way the photos of Murray look so staged ! Shamone Michael! <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    TMZ probably paid for that vacation.

    It's funny you say that, because last night I was watching when they aired this and one of the TMZ guys actually says "I bet $10 the paparazzi paid for his room and the resort." Then they make another comment "I'm sure they sleep even better with Propofol......Just Kidding!....Maybe!" (referring to his sleeping baby...)

    Check it out.....they have just been on a roll lately....it starts at 12:45 on the video.....
