OSI was responsible for the illegal use of PsyOps domestically (which has continued).
OSI included The Rendon Goup (which later perception managed the 2004 Democratic National Convention and introduced the then junior US Senator from Illinois Barack H. Obama), Fort Bragg's 4th PsyOps Group (the DoD dropped Psychological Operations designation now called Military Information Support Operations-yet in the contracted DoD psyops have certainly continued domestically) etc. Btw, some of the people that investigated this general subject wound up terminated, most notably Michael Hastings.

Here are a few links about OSI, in general.
