Gardiner claims that the Pentagon was behind the creation of the "EmpowerPeace" website.

The-Edge has invited EmpowerPeace to respond to Gardiner's assertions. -- The bogus "surrender" of Iraq's 51st division raised a "profound question" for Gardiner: "If we would manipulate truth, would we also manipulate evidence? That would be very serious. Is that what the Secretary of Defense meant when he said he was going to be doing strategic influence?" /more/
