Senator, general defend Iraq propagada plan

By LOLITA C. BALDOR
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

WASHINGTON -- A key senator and the country's top military commander said Friday that a Pentagon propaganda program was part of an effort to "get the truth out" in Iraq.

Leaving a Pentagon meeting with Defense Department officials, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John Warner, R-Va., said the program, which pays to plant favorable stories with Iraqi journalists and newspapers, is a serious problem.

But Warner told The Associated Press that, "Things like this happen. It's a war. The disinformation that's going on in that country is really affecting the effectiveness of what we're achieving, and we have no recourse but to try and do some rebuttal information."

And Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, added that, "We want to get the facts out. We want to get the truth out."

-----------if you have to tell lies to get the truth out then you obviously are not getting the truth out, but lies. dumbfucks

1. War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is Strength.

2. I bet Warner is getting pretty sick of defending this bunch of
liars.
Propaganda is part of the effort to get the truth out? And up is down, black is white...
