[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]The U.S. military command in Baghdad acknowledged for the first time yesterday that it has paid Iraqi newspapers to carry positive news about U.S. efforts in Iraq, but officials characterized the payments as part of a legitimate campaign to counter insurgents' misinformation. [/QUOTE]Jusr swap "insurgents" with "democrats" and you'll see why this is soo dangerous right here at home. It's such a small step after all.... [QUOTE]The episode has sparked an intense debate at the Pentagon and beyond, as military officials in Washington said privately that they are troubled by the situation and media experts said the program violated standard journalistic practices. [/QUOTE]"Troubled" they got [i]caught[/i]. What is this now? Five or six scandals all at once with this administration? More? -Scooter Libby's indictment over purjury in the Plame scandal. -Delay's alleged kickbacks/bribery. -Randy "Duke" Cunningham resigning over admitting bribery. -Rep. Bob Ney of Ohio investigated for congressional bribery. -The FCC discriminating against non-replublicans when selecting a new PBS chairman. - The use of White Phosphorus chemical weapons in Iraq. - and now the whole "pay for planted stories in a foeign media" bit. I'm sure I've mossed a few though- Jay? [/QB][/QUOTE]
