Pentagon's new Office for Strategic Influence is developing plans to provide news items, possibly even false ones, to foreign media organizations as part of new effort to influence public sentiment and policy makers in both friendly and unfriendly countries; seeks to broaden longstanding practice of information warfare against hostile nations in Middle East, Asia and even Western Europe; would assume role traditionally led by civilian agencies, mainly State Dept; office was established after September 11 terrorist attacks in response to concerns that Bush administration and US were losing public support overseas for war on terrorism, especially in Islamic countries; Defense Sec Donald H Rumsfeld, while broadly supportive of new office, has not approved specific proposals and has asked Pentagon's top lawyer William J Haynes to review them; photo (M)
