Pentagon sites: Journalism or propaganda?
The Defense Department runs two Web sites overseas, one aimed at people in the Balkan region in Europe, the other for the Maghreb area of North Africa.
It is preparing another site, even as the Pentagon inspector general investigates whether the sites are appropriate.
The Web sites carry stories on subjects such as politics, sports and entertainment.
Information warfare
The sites are run by U.S. military troops trained in "information warfare," a specialty than can include battlefield deception.
But not, it seems, very well trained.
