Is this or is this not what is meant by government propaganda?

add this $20M to the incredible amount of money we've already dumped into this seriously failed adventure, stir in the massive loss of life - u.s., allies, and iraqis - then season generously with lies, and you've got a dish guaranteed to destroy anybody's appetite forever after only one bite...

U.S. military leaders in Baghdad have put out for bid a two-year, $20 million public relations contract that calls for extensive monitoring of U.S. and Middle Eastern media in an effort to promote more positive coverage of news from Iraq.

The contract calls for assembling a database of selected news stories and assessing their tone as part of a program to provide "public relations products" that would improve coverage of the military command's performance, according to a statement of work attached to the proposal.

The request for bids comes at a time when Bush administration officials are publicly criticizing media coverage of the war in Iraq.

what happened to sanity in the u.s. government...? they're quite literally off the rails...
