My latest for Raw Story:
Figure in Bush propaganda operation remains Pentagon spokesman
A months-long review of documents and interviews with Pentagon personnel has revealed that the Bush Administration’s military analyst program — aimed at selling the Iraq war to the American people — operated through a secretive collaboration between the Defense Department’s press and community relations offices.
Raw Story has also uncovered evidence that directly ties the activities undertaken in the military analyst program to an official US military document’s definition of psychological operations — propaganda that is only supposed to be directed toward foreign audiences.

Thanks, Brad…and judging by responses elsewhere you’ve certainly picked an ugly scab. I take that to mean that you’re onto something important.
Thanks, Lex.
