    Here's a site with scans of dozens of the leaflets we've been dropping on Iraq: http://www.iwar.org.uk/psyops/resources/iraq/index.htm[^] things like : "Don't repair fiber optic cables!" (with a picture of some f-16's blowing up a fiber optic line) -c

      Our tax dollars at work again, I see. Geez. Even Scott Adams can draw better pictures. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

        Interesting... do you suppose that the people are actually reading and heeding the messages? Or are they more likely to be shot for possessing them? I wonder how useful these tactics really are? The approach reminds me in some ways of finding advertising on my windshield when I leave work. I throw them on the ground and vow to myself to never again do any business with the company which paid to have that trash put on my windshield. I wonder whether these leaflets give the impression of us as liberators, or mere litterbugs? How many deciduous forests did we denude to print the leaflets, and how many landfills will we fill to capacity getting rid of them? Ancient man conquered his rivals with the jawbone of an ass; modern man uses the jawbone of a politician.

            I suspect in Iraq these leaflets make handy raw material for papier mache house repairs. Even Sadman should be ok with that.
