JPSE's work could meet resistance, however. Three years ago, the Pentagon shut down its Office of Strategic Influence amid press reports that the unit, whose staff included psyops experts, was mulling a scheme to plant false news items with foreign journalists to sway opinion overseas.

But Rumsfeld disbanded the organization anyway, complaining that the negative publicity compromised its effectiveness. The JPSE director insists that his group will not engage in deception.

DAVID WIMPY, 49, CULTIVATES 800 ACRES OF CORN AND OTHER crops in Kentucky's hilly Amish country. As a member of the 2,300-strong Hopkinsville Elevator Cooperative, he is also part owner of the hottest new thing to hit town, Commonwealth Agri-Energy, an ethanol plant that started up a year ago in a stream-fed rock quarry a mile south of his land. The cooperative has a 94% stake in the $32 million plant, which has made an estimated $40 million in sales over the past year from ethanol and its by-products. Plant manager Mick Henderson says...
