Media's Military Analysts in Propaganda Drive

Media's Military Analysts Involved in "Psyops on Steroids" | Center for Media and Democracy: "In early 2002, as 'detailed planning for a possible Iraq invasion' began, then-Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs Victoria Clarke launched the Pentagon military analyst program as 'the main focus of the public relations push to construct a case for war,' reports David Barstow. The gist of the program was the recruitment of 'key influentials' to help sell a wary public on the war. The former Hill & Knowlton executive and her senior aide, Brent Krueger, signed up more than 75 retired military officers, who appeared on television and radio news shows as military analysts, and/or penned newspaper op/ed columns."
