Sen Warner To Hold Hearings Today: Paid Propaganda In Iraq Media
Secret Military Campaign Plants Paid Propaganda In Iraq Media.... Senator Warner To Hold Hearings Today...
The New York Times | ERIC SCHMITT and DAVID S. CLOUD | December 2, 2005 at 11:15 AM

The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee summoned top Pentagon officials to a closed-door session on Capitol Hill on Friday to explain a reported secret military campaign in Iraq to plant paid propaganda in the Iraqi news media. The White House also expressed deep concerns about the program.

Senior Pentagon officials said on Thursday that they had not yet received any explanation of the program from top generals in Iraq, including Gen. John P. Abizaid, Gen. George W. Casey Jr. and Lt. Gen. John R. Vines, the three most senior commanders for Iraqi operations.

What does it take to throw this clown out on his rear end?

People are dying in Iraq, New Orleans and elsewhere because of his stupidity and dishonesty.

OF COURSE, the Pentagon is paying the Iraqi media to report favorably.

This is as if Harvard Medical were to release a 25 year study claiming smoking causes cancer.

This is a dishonest administration, which knows no shame. And people better get a grip.
