This is sick. Bush military propoganda ILLEGALY 'fed' to news media by retired military personnel

New York Times broke the story.

Democracy in the US hits a new low. Many of those retired generals etc you see on TV were nothing more than a conduit for lies for the Bush administration. Not one of the US television networks would appear on this PBS program... I wonder why? Not one of the US networks is covering this at all.

This practice is illegal for G-ds sake. The US justice system is obviously a sham if they get away with this. The lies and deception by the White House and the Pentagon continue unfettered and unchallenged. This should make most Americans sick. Will this be allowed to continue? Sigh...

Thank goodness for PBS and the NYTimes.
