Donald Rumsfeld, Laurence Di Rita, Victoria Clarke and the Pentagon pimped out a stable of retired generals to act as media military experts and recite Pentagon talking points in order to incite public support for the Iraq War, downplay public fears about Guantanamo, and otherwise achieve what Ms. Clarke called "information dominance" - that is, "information dominance" over the US public.
Got democracy???
P.S. PAF encountered a Pentagon propaganda campaign just a few months ago. You wouldn't believe the hate-mail I got when I declined to participate in that little circus and got outed to the press as a terror-symp disloyal academic of dubious masculinity. My favorite one began "Dear Pussyboy" and didn't get any better after that.
