Congressmen Urge Probe of Defense Dept.’s Influence on Military Analysts

Rep Rosa Delauro (D-CT) and 40 other Members of Congress are calling on the Pentagon’s Inspector General to probe whether the Department of Defense went too far in trying to sway the opinions of military analysts on network and cable TV shows in behalf of the Iraq war in ways that may have been illegal. They called the Pentagon effort an “unethical, and potentially illegal, propaganda campaign aimed at deliberately misleading the American public.”
