The Psyops Cyclops!!!
So, today in class we talked about "covert" ways to frame/set agendas... Public Relations, Advertisements, PSYOPS!!!
I just really like the word psyops.
But, seriously, what kind of moral questions are attached to psychological operations? If ends can be achieved, are the means justified? What kind of attachment to "truth" do we have? Is a psychological operation better/less invasive than other kinds of operations?
Personally, my time at Georgetown has made me more of a realist than I'm sometimes comfortable with. I find myself able to justify all kinds of quasi-ethical operations in the name of national security. What happened to my convictions about liberty??
