WASHINGTON - A long-awaited Bush administration public diplomacy strategy, intended to counter the steep decline in America's global image, calls for the creation of a new State Department center aimed solely at countering the spread of terrorist ideology.

U.S. officials said the Counterterrorism Communications Center, now being formed at the State Department and staffed heavily with military and intelligence officers, will provide a rapid response to propaganda by U.S. adversaries.

It will develop messages "to undermine and marginalize extremist ideology and propaganda" and "aggressively rebut and efficiently respond to actions and statements by terrorist groups and leaders across the world."

The recommendation is one of several in a 34-page strategy document, which was completed last month by Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes, a longtime confidante of President Bush. It has been shared with some members of Congress but hasn't been formally released.

3. Why do I think this is more about countering the Democrat's message?

As far as I can tell, there is no "terrorist" meassage to be countered. People outside the US (as well as a majority in the US) are against the US policy of pre-emptive aggression and resource stealing. That is a US doctrine that borders on blatant criminality which could be rectified with impeachment, but certainly by the next election cycle.

4. UNDER sec'y of state?

Do we have one of those? She's under something that's for sure.

This woman is just as crazy as Rover...but she gets a LOT less credit for it. She masterminds ALL of georgie's speeches (when he reads them that is).

She left him for awhile (I personally think her and Condi had a fight) and went back to TX (are ya ready?) to spend more time with her family. I guess she has 2 sons? Maybe they can interbreed with the bushspawn. They already have it in common they are from the shallow end of the gene pool.
