THE CONFLICT IN IRAQ
U.S. Military Covertly Pays to Run Stories in Iraqi Press
Troops write articles presented as news reports. Some officers object
to the practice.

WASHINGTON - As part of an information offensive in Iraq, the U.S.
military is secretly paying Iraqi newspapers to publish stories written
by American troops in an effort to burnish the image of the U.S.
mission in Iraq.


So?


More taxpayer dollars going to support presidummy's lies.


Nope. It is being spent to tell the truth over what is really happening.


If an Iraqi doesn't want to publish the truth without being paid to do so,
why would they do it for money? The obvious answer is greed, but at least in
theory, if they know the truth and withhold it, it's probably because of
their political beliefs, right? If money can change those beliefs, we may be
onto something: The right way to win this little war. (It's worked in the
past)
