Private Military Contractors Writing the News? The Pentagons Propaganda at Its Worst
Less than a week after the Washington Post reported that the Department of Defense will pay private contractors $300 million over the next three years to produce news stories, entertainment programs and public service advertisements for the Iraqi media in an effort to engage and inspire the local population to support U.S. objectives and the Iraqi government, Virginia Sen. Jim Webb wrote a strongly worded letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates. I have serious reservations about the need for this expenditure in todays political and economic environment, he wrote. Consequently, I am asking that you put these contracts on hold until the Armed Services Committee and the next administration can review the entire issue of U.S. propaganda efforts inside Iraq.
