And Democratic Senators have introduced a measure to bar the Pentagon’s domestic propaganda program. In April, the New York Times revealed the Pentagon has used retired military officers to generate positive news coverage and push for the war in Iraq. On Monday, Senators John Kerry, Robert Menendez, Byron Dorgan and Frank Lautenberg introduced a bill that would end the program and order a probe by both the Pentagon inspector general and the congressional investigative body, the Government Accountability Office. A similar House measure was introduced last month.
