But the goal is clear to crush the enemy psychologically. In political theory, this is called "the effect of CNN»: it does not matter what actually happens, and what we see on the air. Libyan tribes who helped master the techniques of war propaganda? KGB colonel, retired, a professional scout with 30 years experience Oleg Nechiporenko sure – this information war Muammar Gaddafi, if not lost completely, then at least, was in the role of a follower. Western coalition ahead of him all the time. And it could hardly be otherwise – are too different in power and capabilities of resources were used, and, of course, the experience of Western intelligence agencies in the conduct of psychological warfare far more than the Libyans. "This operation can generally enter into the textbooks," – says Oleg Nechiporenko. The famous military theorist of the XIX century von Clausewitz wrote that battle – it's not so much crushing the enemy army as crushing his courage. In the late XX century, the U.S. General John Shalikashvili put it more simply: "We're not winning, while CNN does not report that we're winning." All the last days of the western channels reported correctly – the rebels took Tripoli, Gaddafi's sons took over, the insurgents almost won. In fact, to make any coherent conclusions from these frames can not be: the armed men riding through the streets, sometimes they shoot off somewhere. What is this city? Tripoli? If so, how to get there the rebels from Benghazi? It is not known. However, reports from the viewer to conclude that the Libyan opposition has won. And then it was no matter that half the information is incorrect. Even supposedly captured the son of Gaddafi appeared before reporters, but still the effect was not the same. "Who first gave the information is right" – says a veteran of the Foreign Intelligence of the KGB Oleg Nechiporenko. Important even language. For example, today the Western agencies reported – some supporters of al-Gaddafi continued resistance. That is, one must understand the others have already surrendered. However, information pressure was only an explicit part of the whole operation. The son of Colonel Gaddafi said for example, that Western intelligence agencies control all data channels. "They have penetrated into our communications networks and knocked out our TV channels, to sow panic among the Libyans," – said supporters of Muammar Gaddafi's son Seif al-Islam. This is classic psychological warfare – broadcast on the frequencies of the enemy, spreading rumors: Gadhafi killed, fled, disappeared – broadcast on TV of the enemy, blocking the Internet, or vice versa stuffing into a worldwide network of sites required for the desired video or the data. And of course, the Libyan rebels themselves to get things done they could not. This is over, there were operations carried out by special alistami. So that the actions of the Western coalition went too far beyond the UN resolutions. In terms of information and events in Libya have been filed on the script a Hollywood blockbuster. There is a dictator, he oppresses the people and supports terrorists. The people rebelled, he helped the pillars of democracy, and this "happy End", rejoicing in Tripoli. For, this is true, somehow forgotten that until recently enjoyed the colonel, and in Paris, London and Rome. However, while not over the war in Tripoli, the war continues and Information. Libyan rebels have promised to grant amnesty to anyone who would arrest or kill al-Gaddafi, and pay for the head of Colonel 1.7 million dollars.
