Bush to Create Formal Office

Bush to Create Formal Office To Shape U.S. Image Abroad (washingtonpost.com)

"A senior administration official said the goal of the office was not to supplant the State Department, which has primary responsibility for "telling America's story" overseas, or replace other agencies with international outreach functions. The office, he said, would add "thematic and strategic value," along with presidential clout, to their efforts."

Sounds like the Ministry of Propaganda to me. So are they going to start trying to control movies, television, etc. before they're "shipped" abroad? Just another way to waste my tax dollars.
