Tony,

You are right in the facts, but IMHO a little - but essential - bit off topic.
This here is about information warfare. Arresting people because they tune in
to the "wrong" radio stations is a matter of civil rights, not information
warfare.
On the other hand, making people choose deliberately to be ignorant
is quite a result, if you consider it as a PSYOPS (ops, sorry, I think you
call that perception management :o) ).
So, not every country's leader is confident to succeed this way, and
many use the traditional methods (arresting...). The skilled leader however
tries to accomplish this the soft way described above, because it rewards him
with increased support.
