The two words that leapt out of that Amy Goodman segment were "John Rendon".
You'll have to google The Rendon Group on your own, because I am too busy wiping the spittle off my screen. Most people have heard of the Lincoln Group because they tried to plant all the psyop feel-good news in the Iraqi media; but TLG were subcontractors, incubated by the Rendon Group, who has been doing the same thing for a much longer time, elsewhere in the world. My own experience of them was in Afghanistan, where they tried to do the same thing. It was worse there, because we really did have a burgeoning professional media, trying to do the right thing, and along comes TRG with fistfuls of cash and a bunch of stupid ideas.
The irony of hearing John Rendon talk about the Pentagon 'coming close' to 'violating the law' about propogandizing the American public is really too much.
