Another non-scandal
Evidently the Wash Post views war propaganda as scandalous, or is at least committed to portraying it as such. Citing "concern" for "journalist standards" by "media experts" and "private" comments of military brass. Then there's Ted Kennedy:
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), a member of the Armed Services Committee, sent a letter to the Defense Department's inspector general asking for an investigation into the program and the Lincoln Group contract. Kennedy called it "a devious scheme to place favorable propaganda in Iraqi newspapers."
The White House should confront this issue rather than dodge it. They might be surprised at the share of Americans for whom "journalistic standards" would place a distant second to winning the hearts of minds of Iraqis. Certainly our enemies in Iraq engage in propaganda, and while Iraq is a "non-traditional" conflict, the US has a legitimate interest in seeing that the American version of things is heard. This is an opportunity for the White House to stand behind America's war footing, and I hope it's treated as such.
