Pentagon to spend 20 million to spin Iraq war

20 million in spin and propaganda for dubya's Iraq attack. That's a LOT of publicity for killing in a country where we didn't even need to go. I wonder what the people of New Orleans could do with 20 million? Oh well, I'm sure there's some Bushco cronies that need millions to do historical revisions. If you can't change the facts, then change the story.

Positive Press on Iraq Is Aim of U.S. Contract
By Walter Pincus

U.S. military leaders in Baghdad have put out for bid a two-year, $20 million public relations contract that calls for extensive monitoring of U.S. and Middle Eastern media in an effort to promote more positive coverage of news from Iraq.
The contract calls for assembling a database of selected news stories and assessing their tone as part of a program to provide "public relations products" that would improve coverage of the military command's performance, according to a statement of work attached to the proposal.
