I am indebted to the BBC for this handy piece of information on military psychological operations:
Writer Jon Ronson revealed the often darkly comic nature of American psy-ops in his book The Men Who Stare At Goats. But he warns that such techniques are no joke.
“The’ve had scientists working on a hologram of Allah, which they could project over a city,” he says. “And then Allah says, ‘America isn’t bad.’ It sounds crazy, but somebody in psy-ops will have determined that Barney the Dinosaur is an effective instrument of torture.”
Probably just by asking anyone who lives with toddlers.
