“It is illegal for the U.S. government to propagandize citizens in this way.”

“What happened here was a psy-ops campaign, an incredible government propaganda campaign whereby Donald Rumsfeld and Torie Clark, the head of public relations for the Pentagon, designed a program to recruit 75, at least 75 former military officers, as your report said, most of them now lobbyists or consultants to military contractors, and insert them, beginning in 2002, before the attack on Iraq was even launched, into the major networks to manage the messages, to be surrogates”.

Please let’s not think for a minute that Rummy thought this up by himself. We all know that Rove and Cheney et al were the hands behind this perversion of our system. Congress must demand answers and act accordingly, turning their results over to President Obama’s DOJ if necessary.

I am way more disappointed in Congress than I am in the media.

Actually there was a conviction…

Cut Kilo a break. It’s early, and the strawmen are still wet from last night’s dew, so they don’t yet stand very well.

Any news of Rice??! Is the media thinking we are letting her off the hook for those secrete meetings on Torture while she was LYING to Congress, to the American people and to the rest of the World?!!! We want her resignation and Indictement! ricemustgo.com !!!!!

Yes, I noticed those that corrected the intentional misspeliing were also eager to help out, as Im sure you would be 5E

You got attention, but did anyone help you out beyond correcting your spelling? :D

Thank you and keep hammering on this. This is the scandal of the year. I can’t recall any more brazen incidence of the U.S. government directing propaganda at Americans.

I call it SPINCOM and have a graphic insignia you’re welcome to use.

The News Media has a very important job; that is making sure we get all the facts and information we need to make informed decisions that will impact our lives. So I strenuously disagree with Murtha that the News Media is disappointing, they committed fraud. They deliberately used deception too pull the wool over our eyes, to hoodwink us into believing the propaganda that all of these High Ranking Military Men were saying night after night.

They are just as guilty as the Bush Administration, and they have the blood of every soldier that died on their hands…

When we laughed they figured out we were joking.

As to ‘Toe the line’, okay, toeing a line sets off a booby trap, to tow the line means to pull the line. We did both =)

We, the People of the United States of America, need your help. We are ashamed of the actions the Bush administration has perpetrated in our names. We gave you a clear mandate, to thwart the disastrous policies of the administration, and you have thus far let us down. From the occupation of Iraq, to the brazen cronyism in appointments, the Bush Administration has not been held accountable. Indeed, they have seemed to mock attempts at oversight and revel in their defiance of the Will of the People.

This is not a time for political maneuvering. It’s time to ask, “how much more damage can President Bush do in the 7 months, legally, remaining in his term”? “How long will it take to repair that damage”? “Can the damage even be repaired”? It’s time to take a stand, with your constituents, and end the madness now. The very survival of our Nation may depend on it.
