blustockingU.S. LOOKS TO IMPROVE IMAGE ABROAD
WASHINGTON (AP)--The White House is raising the profile of a little-known office meant to polish America's image abroad and rebuild ties with allies alienated by Bush administration policies. The Office of Global Communications has existed for months, quietly working with foreign news media outlets to get the American message out. The office was an outgrowth of an earlier administration effort to build public support overseas for the war on terrorism. But a series of administration decisions before and after the Sept. 11 attacks brought increasingly sharp criticism, even from some allies, spurring the administration to give new emphasis to the office.
Arrogant, stupid white men

I like how "offices" are created. It's the one thing that the checks and balances system can do that no other system can. Because the foundation of the government lies in multiple branches, we are able to create new branches that may or may not serve any other purpose than to take the blame for certain fuckups, lessening the blame thrown on the larger government as an entity.
