How the military analyst program controlled news coverage: in the Pentagon's own words

"We develop a core group from within our media analyst list of those that we can count on to carry our water. They become the key go to guys for the networks and it begins to weed out the less reliably friendly analysts by the networks themselves."

    Let's not speak disparagingly at these ignoble coward little choir boys....

    They are ashamed of their weakness. It can't be concealed. The Sold-Outs praise intemperance, murder for hire, and condone the blood of the innocent victims that are being shed daily. They are hired, cold-bloodied, and are rear prop architects of lies. It's wearisome to keep telling them. However.... Tell the truth until America gets fed up... The citizens is already disgusted. Goons are weak. These creeps are wretches. Well, is this slander? No apologies from me.... Their natures are "wicked" and don't be fooled... evil does incarnate stooges.... GOPS. And potentially, everybody.

    About one month ago, in the V.A. ER. ~;

    I went to the ER because of a wound that seemed to fester more severe over night. Eyes were blurred. Sore. Swelling. I once was hospitalized for 21 days for putting in a Spring garden, and postponing medical intervention, and I'd gotten very bloody septic. I though. yikes. The young ER Doc had a uniform on... `Why? He was active National Guard, and just back from Iraq. He said : `The bodies of Americans are sometimes obliterated by 155 artillery detonations. The medics can't distinguish what body part belongs to who - or what leg is from another? If 4-troops are in a tank. Red Jello. It's Sad. True.

    He (MEDIC) was misty eyed, and seemed to want to keep informing me about more truths about the war carnage. Military pro-war are fakes and pretenders. It's propaganda and a great deal of sad-nonsense.

    They are a court of little boys. A eagle would call them bait. They are weak cowards. They sent many people to their deaths. They are very wretched pro-war-porn loyalist. Core whores.

    They carry water, and spill warm innocent blood in their "wicked" military careers. Helen Caldicott (sp) the physician used the word "wicked" to describe Bush/Cheney. And I agree.
