Lieutenant General William Caldwell Denies Psy-Op Claims

Officer Denies Psy-Op Claims

The spokesman for a three-star general accused of instructing troops to carry out "psychological operations" to sway visiting members of Congress said Saturday that the general was innocent of any wrongdoing.

Lt. Col. Shawn Stroud, communications director for NATO's training mission in Afghanistan, sent out a personal e-mail to friends and colleagues to "categorically deny the assertion" that the commander, Lt. Gen. William B. Caldwell IV, or his officers "used an Information Operations cell to influence distinguished visitors."
