More Bush Smoke and Mirrors
Our American Government is spending our American tax dollars to pay Iraqi newspapers to print articles.

Bush, and his Administration have no shame. Evidently Bush and his gang use news media outlets like their own personal vanity press. I believe that Bush and his gang think WE ARE ALL STUPID.

Quote:
"But far from being the heartfelt opinion of an Iraqi writer, as its language implied, the article was prepared by the United States military as part of a multimillion-dollar covert campaign to plant paid propaganda in the Iraqi news media and pay friendly Iraqi journalists monthly stipends, military contractors and officials said."


I am not surprised, but I am disgusted. Our American Government paid for propaganda to be published right here, in America. Of course, government propaganda disguised as NEWS is illegal here in America, but being illegal or unconstitutional never stopped Bush and his current administration before, so why am I surprised our elected world representives would do in Iraq exactly what they're doing here?

Write your Congressmen people. I don't know if it will really do any good, but it surely can't hurt to let them know that WE know how our government is spending OUR American Tax dollars.
