Since in general you'd never know that the New York Times recently wrote this article, I thought I'd point it out.  Seems that in the spin-up to the Iraq war and the early days of the war itself, many of those "independent"  military experts you were seeing on TV were being paid by contractors to represent viewpoints that the Pentagon fed them in briefings. That's right, we were getting much of our "news" from paid employees of military suppliers, many of whom now represent major corporations in the military environment. 

Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon
information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to
generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime
performance, an examination by The New York Times has found.

Here's more evidence of the anti-democratic nature of the Bush administration that views itself as a regime that the people and its representatives ought not to question.

The Pentagon told U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton that voicing her views on withdrawing from Iraq is enemy "propaganda".

So, as the Bush administration implausibly vows that its latest mission is the formation of a democracy in Iraq to stop the 9/11 terrorists from leaving Iraq and coming to the United States (an outrageous lie), it has the nerve to call for halting domestic discussion of American foreign policy.

Make no mistake, the Bush administration is the enemy of democracy in the United States, and all measures ought to be considered to oust this out-of-control regime.
