Behind TV Analysts, Pentagon’s Hidden Hand - New York Times

Five years into the Iraq war, most details of the architecture and execution of the Pentagon’s campaign have never been disclosed. But The Times successfully sued the Defense Department to gain access to 8,000 pages of e-mail messages, transcripts and records describing years of private briefings, trips to Iraq and Guantánamo and an extensive Pentagon talking points operation.

Internal Pentagon documents repeatedly refer to the military analysts as “message force multipliers” or “surrogates” who could be counted on to deliver administration “themes and messages” to millions of Americans “in the form of their own opinions.”

Goddamned crazy Lbs and their goddamned crazy conspiracy theories!

Imagine that bunch of crazy Libs who have said all along that the Administration had plants at all the networks, parroting the party line on Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo, etc.

We've been living through a dark time in America - one in which a right-wing junta comprised of cowards has constantly and consistently run an orchestrated campaign of lies and deceptions in order to manipulate the nation towards war and bankruptcy.

Wait. American Idol is on! Bye!
