Mouthpieces for the Pentagon






A report by the New York Times that some military officials, retired or not, that have been appearing on television and in other media outlets to talk about the Iraq war have been fed information has led to the Pentagon halting the procedure.




The Times piece seemed to imply that the officals were hyping key decisions made by the Administration and the Pentagon.
Question: Should we now take everything these military guys say with a grain of salt? Often they make statements that seem to contradict Bush and the Pentagon. I'm sure this can't be a new phenomenon, but have the house "military analysts" denegrated themselves to the level of the lobbyist or party operative.
For a military perspective on this, check out the Stars and Stripes article.
