The second troubling part of this Act is the uplifting of ban on domestic propaganda. Congressmen Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) and Adam Smith (D-Wash.) introduced "The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012" (H.R. 5736) last week during discussions for the NDAA 2013. This updates the Smith-Mundt act of 1948 and Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987 allowing for domestic propaganda by the Government. While the logic of the Act seems to be to counter the propaganda of Al-Qaeda and other groups’ intent on false anti-American propaganda, the logic of "countering fire with fire," seems a bit far-fetched. The American public is getting wiser and one hopes that taxpayer dollars are not spent on propaganda campaigns.

There's no need for Govt propaganda .
We've had the MSM handling that for the dems for years.
