No

Even now, the US is battling a particularly vicious, and particularly effective, campaign charging that
AIDS is the result of US Army biological warfare experiments gone awry. "This is a fairly successful
campaign,'' says Herbert Romerstein, a senior policy officer with the United States Information Agency
(USIA) and coordinator of the US government's response to Soviet disinformation efforts.
"There's good reason to be concerned" about Soviet disinformation efforts, Mr. Romerstein says. When
they are successful, "it discredits the US and makes it harder for us to deal with other countries," he
says.
Between 12 and 24 forgeries, designed to embarrass the United States and complicate its diplomacy,
surface each year, according to Romerstein.
