the bush administration's use of the pentagon for a propaganda campaign against the american people is truly disgraceful. one of the great things about this country is the centuries-long tradition of civilian control of the military. a coda of that principle is that the military stays out of politics.
once again, i am struck by how short-sighted thus bush administration policy is. having the pentagon feed bullshit to the news media pushing a policy that the public overwhelmingly and increasingly opposed to will only erode the credibility of the military in the long run.
